Classmates  : 

The  Class  of  1862  never  had  any  class  organization  while  in  college, 
and  has  had  no  meeting,  organization,  secretary,  or  records  since 
graduation. 

All  we  have  known  of  each  other  since  leaving  college  has  been  by 
rumor  and  by  casual  intercourse. 

Believing  it  would  be  a  pleasure  to  us  who  are  living  to  know  in 
detail  the  lives  of  our  classmates,  I  undertook  the  labor  of  collecting 
the  necessary  information,  and,  as  the  result  of  much  time,  more 
patience,  and  nearly  four  hundred  letters  and  communications,  I  am 
able  to  present  to  you  this  volume,  which,  I  hope,  may  be  pleasant 
reading  to  all. 

The  facts  and  dates  are  given  as  reported  to  me,  and  I  hope  they 
may  be  found  correct. 

I  am  indebted  to  Professor  Eastman,  of  the  Scientific  Class,  for  aid 
in  collecting  the  sketches  of  the  graduates  of  the  Chandler  School. 

I  especially  thank  those  of  the  class  who  have  aided  me  by  their 
prompt  replies,  and  those  who  have  given  me  information  concerning 
others. 

With  a  sincere  wish  for  the  prosperity  of  "1862,"  I  remain, 

Yours   truly, 

Horace  Stuart  Cummings. 

Washington,  D.  C, 

June  15,  1884. 


By  the  purest  accident,  this  second  Class  Book  of  '62  goes  to  the 
printer  exactly  twenty-five  years  after  I  wrote  the  above  note. 

This  second  book  required  the  writing  of  more  letters  than  the  first, 
and,  even  so,  the  information  is  not  as  complete  in  some  instances  as 
I  wish  it  were. 

To  my  indebtedness  to  many  of  the  class  has  to  be  added  that  to 
many  others.    All  whose  aid  has  been  asked  have  responded  courteously. 

On  account  of  the  impairment  of  my  eyesight,  it  has  been  imprac- 
ticable for  me  either  to  read  or  write,  and  this  has  made  the  com- 
pilation of  the  book  involve  much  more  care,  labor,  and  time  than  I 
anticipated. 

I  hope  that  this  new  edition  will  prove  accurate  in  its  statements, 
and  that  it  will  bring  pleasure  to  those  who  are  living  and  to  the  friends 
of  those  who  are  gone,  and,  if  so,  I  shall  feel  repaid  for  the  time  and 
anxiety  that  I  have  expended  upon  it. 

With  the  best  wishes  for  the  Class  of  1862,  I  am, 

Most  sincerely  yours, 

Horace  Stuart  Cummings.

ORATION 

BY    EDWARD    TUCK 
EXETER 

When  we  first  stood  before  those  college  halls,  now  so  famil- 
iar, so  unromantic,  but  then  invested  with  the  misty  fancies 
which  inexperience  threw  about  them,  we  looked  forward, 
with  but  a  moment's  thought,  perhaps,  to  that  distant  day  in 
the  mysterious  future,  which  is  now  so  nearly  upon  us. 

The  broad  expanse  of  years  which  lay  between  then  and 
now,  imagination  filled  with  labors  and  pastimes  widely  dif- 
ferent from  those  which  an  actual  experience  has  revealed. 
Neither  memory  nor  fancy  will  venture  to  paint  the  pleasant 
visions  of  individual  attainment  with  which  hope  beckoned 
each  of  us  forward.  But  we  all,  I  am  confident,  firmly  believed 
that  there  was  then  dawning  a  period  of  real  acquisition  in 
all  the  branches  of  study  with  which  we  were  to  be  engaged. 
We  all  supposed  that  we  were  entering  on  a  course  which  was 
certain  to  be  marked  from  the  first  by  a  rapid  increase  of  act- 
ual knowledge,  and  to  be  crowned  in  the  end  by  an  accumu- 
lation of  learning,  of  which  the  curriculum  of  study  was  but 
an  epitome.  We  looked  upon  the  graduating  student  as  the 
conscious  embodiment  of  everything  comprised  in  the  depart- 
ments of  study,  whether  that  of  mathematics,  or  the  lan- 
guages, or  the  cabalistic  mysteries  of  metaphysics ;  that  syllo- 
gistic art,  intended,  as  we  believe,  to  supersede  these  common 
paths  of  weary  thought,  and  help  to  reasoning  by  line  and 
rule ;  as  the  embodiment,  indeed,  of  each  and  all  of  the  vari- 
ous elements  of  human  learning  which  he  had  from  time  to 
time  taken  up,  and  by  which  he  was  made,  to  our  minds,  that 
usual  result  of  a  collegiate  education,  a  gentleman  and  a 
scholar. 

Such  were  our  impressions  as  we  stood  on  the  threshold  of 
our  college  course.  From  that  day  to  this  their  original  dis- 
tinctness has  been  gradually  fading  away,  less  perceptibly  at 
first,  but  ever  since  with  increasing  rapidity,  and  now,  alas !

who  of  us  shall  be  bold  to  assert,  when  two  days  hence,  we 
shall  be  entitled  to  call  ourselves  journeymen  in  the  arts,  that 
we  have  advanced  beyond  the  alphabet  of  human  learning, 
in  fact,  more  than  in  degree?  Yet  the  view  of  a  college  edu- 
cation which  regards  the  accumulation  of  positive  knowledge 
to  be  its  only  true  end,  is  very  commonly  entertained.  So  far 
as  we  regard  it  in  this  light,  when  at  times  we  return  in 
thought  to  the  past  and  trace  down  the  current  of  events  to 
the  present  moment,  we  must  feel  sadly  conscious  of  the  im- 
perfect fulfillment  of  these  grand  expectations  once  so  fondly 
cherished.  In  this  view,  the  anticipation  has  not  proved  the 
realization.  But  it  is  an  error  to  suppose  that  education  con- 
sists in  mere  acquirement.  If  that  were  its  only  end,  to  cul- 
tivate perception  and  memory  rather  than  understanding  and 
reason,  would  be  the  mission  of  universities. 

But  there  are  gains  to  be  reckoned  other  than  acquisition, 
other  even  than  that  evolution  of  mental  faculties  which  a  uni- 
versity education  contemplates.  A  deeper  and  clearer  insight 
into  the  walks  of  college  life  reveals  sources  of  benefit  which 
the  generality  never  discern,  and  which  even  the  observant 
few  fail  fully  to  appreciate. 

Without  attempting  a  particular  delineation,  let  us  seek  to 
elucidate  the  general  relations  of  collegiate  experience  to  our 
growth  and  improvement  as  men,  that  we  may  not  lose  sight 
of  these  less  obvious,  but  no  less  real  advantages. 

During  the  four  years  just  past  we  have  been  almost  entirely 
shut  up  in  a  little  world  by  ourselves.  We  have  been  left  free 
to  pass  through  any  mental  transitions  natural  to  our  age  and 
condition;  to  frame  the  general  structure  of  our  intellectual 
tastes,  to  remodel  it  as  longer  experience  gave  us  clearer 
ideas;  to  cultivate  our  moral  sentiments  as  the  knowledge  of 
men  and  things  in  their  various  relations  has  been  imparted 
to  us ;  to  improve  our  social  natures  by  the  formation  of  par- 
ticular friendships  and  the  general  intercourse  of  every-day 
association.  We  have  adopted,  confidently  entertained,  and 
at  length  cast  aside  many  crude  notions  which  it  would  have 
been  impossible  elsewhere  to  correct  so  substantially  and  so 
completely.     In  some  of  our  opinions  and  dogmas,  we  have 


CLASS    DAY EXERCISES  2(J 

employed  unsuspectingly  for  a  time  a  currency  which  the 
advantages  of  life  here  have  since  shown  to  be  in  reality 
unsound ;  and  it  is  certainly  not  too  much  to  hope  that  in  the 
crucible  of  college  experience  a  large  portion  of  the  dross,  of 
which  we  must  in  some  way  rid  ourselves,  has  been  separated 
from  the  pure  metal  and  cast  aside  forever.  It  was  natural 
for  us  in  the  earlier  stages  of  our  course  to  form  many  ambi- 
tious projects  of  future  proficiency  in  the  regular  studies,  or 
perhaps  in  a  more  general  course  of  reading.  As  we  advanced, 
these  plans,  though  never  entirely  abandoned,  have  yet  been 
modified  by  progressing  experience ;  and  now,  when  we  are 
about  to  bid  farewell  to  our  alma  mater,  we  must  acknowledge 
how  much,  of  what  we  had  hoped  to  do,  we  are  constrained 
to  leave  undone.  But  this  is  not  all  failure.  If  particular 
aspirations  have  been  defeated,  their  very  defeat  may  have 
contributed  to  a  general  symmetry  of  growth  rather  than  to 
an  undue  development  of  any  single  feature. 

"I  hold  it  truth  with  him  who  sings 
To  one  clear  harp  in  divers  tones, 
That  men  may  rise  on  stepping  stones 
Of  their  dead  selves  to  higher  things." 

Our  college  terms  have  been  to  us  a  succession  of  new 
phases  of  life,  a  series  of  dissolving  views,  ever  pleasing,  ever 
instructive.  Each  year  has  been  unlike  the  preceding,  has 
brought  its  own  mode  of  life,  has  had  its  own  class  of  asso- 
ciations, its  own  pleasures,  interests  and  incidents.  Nothing- 
can  be  more  obvious  to  any  one  than  the  marked  alteration 
which  a  class  undergoes  in  the  transition  period  of  summer, 
as  they  throw  off  the  mental  attire  of  the  old  for  that  of  the 
new  collegiate  year.  Hardly  a  man  fails  of  these  progressive 
changes  of  his  inward  self,  as  real  and  as  definite  as  the 
changes  in  departments  of  study.  These  have  been  sources  of 
enjoyment  in  their  novelty  and  variety,  and  have  contributed, 
moreover,  to  an  enlargement  of  ideas  and  the  dissipation  of 
prejudice. 

From  our  present  standpoint  we  can  look  back  on  the  things 
detected  in  a  hasty  glance,  which,  with  many  more  that  are 


30  CLASS    DAY — EXERCISES 

forgotten,  or  the  occasion  would  forbid  recounting,  have  com- 
bined to  build  up  that  experience  which  college-bred  men  will 
best  understand  when  I  call  it  college  life.  It  is  "college  life." 
It  is  not  the  life  of  men,  nor  even  of  students  outside  of  col- 
lege walls,  either  in  individual  or  social  relations,  in  the  code 
of  morals  or  etiquette,  in  the  mode  of  thought  or  the  manner 
of  life.  Is  it,  then,  the  course  of  study,  which  our  grave 
teachers  have  set  us  conning,  and  which  the  world  most  asso- 
ciates with  college  life,  that  makes  up  this  experience?  Do 
these  tasks  in  their  appropriate  order  constitute  the  gradu- 
ate? Would  the  man,  who  might  read  alone  the  old  text- 
books which  we  have  cast  aside,  be  one  of  us  ?  The  same  reci- 
tations and  examinations  being  passed,  by  those  of  the  other 
sex,  would  it  be  possible  for  Dartmouth  to  have  her 

" — sweet  girl  graduates   in  their  golden  hair?" 

No ;  and  the  answer  is  in  this :  That  it  is  not  Lardner,  and 
Edwards,  and  Lyell  only  that  have  been  educating  us.  For 
great  as  is  our  debt  to  books,  the  thousand  scenes  of  dignified, 
earnest  fireside  talk;  of  pranks  and  scrapes,  indoors  and  out, 
not  dignified;  the  periods  of  intense  excitement  against  the 
maladministration  of  our  rulers.,  subversive  as  the  occasion 
taught  us  to  believe,  of  the  foundations  of  collegiate  rights, 
and  liberty ;  the  scheming  of  this  clique  or  party,  its  success  or 
overthrow;  the  influence  of  earnest  men  with  one  hand  busily 
at  work  that  the  other  may  hold  the  cherished  book;  of  the 
careless  and  frivolous  men,  as  well ;  and  all  the  incidents  which 
only  the  graduate's  patience  would  suffer  me  to  rehearse; 
these  have  had  their  full  share  and  part  in  making  the  men  of 
cur  own  and  the  men  of  every  class. 

But  to-day  we  face  the  world  and  are  bluntly  asked :  "What 
is  all  this  worth?" 

We  have  been  so  long  used  to  an  unbroken  routine  of  com- 
ing and  going,  have  led  so  long  each  his  own  peculiar  mode 
of  life,  while  yet  looking  constantly  to  one  another,  and  walk- 
ing side  by  side,  that  it  seems  as  if  we  had  been  visiting 
another  land  and  had  been  subject  to  other  laws  and  customs 
than  those  of  our  own  homes.    It  is  as  if  our  little  caravan  had 


CLASS   DAY — EXERCISES  3 1 

been  traveling  in  a  far  country  during  a  four  years'  pilgrim- 
age. All  have  recollections  of  the  many  joys  that  have  played 
among  us,  of  the  gentle  breezes  which  have  fanned  us  as  we 
journeyed.  By  them  our  fatigue  has  been  soothed,  if  per- 
chance the  path  at  any  time  has  been  steep  and  rugged.  But 
ordinarily  we  have  found  it  easy  and  smooth,  through  pleasant 
windings  and  over  gentle  slopes.  With  different  aims  and 
in  different  spirits  we  set  out  upon  and  performed  our  jour- 
neying. We  have  not  been  able  to  take  the  country  with  us, 
yet  some,  as  they  advanced,  have  gathered  precious  gems  and 
rich  spices,  which  shall  be  to  them  a  constant  joy  and  refresh- 
ment. They  have  garnered  the  grains  of  fine  gold,  yea,  that 
which  is  better  than  gold,  and  which  the  faith  and  diligence 
that  gathered  shall  liberally  pour  out  without  finding  them- 
selves the  poorer.  Some  have  been  pleased  rather  to  look 
about  themselves,  to  enjoy  the  green  fields,  studded  with  a 
succession,  never-ending,  still  beginning,  of  alluring  flowers. 
They  have  been  content  to  regard  the  tranquil  beauties  of  the 
landscape  and  the  scenery,  caring  less  for  tedious  research  after 
hidden  treasure  than  for  the  more  facile  benefits  of  travel 
itself.  Others,  again,  have  been  just  as  intent  on  the  journey 
itself,  its  successive  stages  and  stations;  have  ever  looked  for- 
ward with  longing  eyes  to  the  appointed  time  of  their  return. 
Some  of  us,  in  their  anxiety  to  reach  the  end,  have  watched 
too  narrowly,  perhaps,  the  finger-posts  planted  at  regular  inter- 
vals along  the  path ;  perhaps,  have  scanned  too  laboriously 
the  road-books,  we  had  taken  for  our  direction.  It  any  have 
plodded  along  with  eyes  too  downcast,  they  have  failed  in  a 
measure  to  receive  the  legitimate  fruits  of  the  journey.  It 
might  seem  that  these — if  such  there  are — could  have  done 
nearly  as  well  to  tarry  in  their  own  land,  and  there  to  study 
the  guides  and  directions,  without  joining  the  little  company 
of  travelers. 

But  to  drop  the  allegory,  while  confessing  our  deficiencies 
in  many  particulars,  I  yet  assert  that  our  college  course  in  its 
whole  effect  has  been  of  the  most  eminent  utility ;  and,  though 
with  the  brand  of  youth  upon  us,  I  dare  affirm  that  in  amount, 
if  not  in  kind,  of  attainment  my  classmates  are  all  that  the 


32  CLASS    DAY — EXERCISES 

world  expects  of  them.  We  cannot  indulge  in  the  ostentation 
of  wonderful  achievement ;  we  cannot  say,  "Lo  here,"  or  "Lo 
there,"  for  proof  of  the  great  things  we  have  done;  yet  we 
have  had  unfolded  within  us  a  broader,  more  liberal,  more 
sympathetic  spirit,  than  if  these  years  had  been  spent  in  the 
real  business  of  life.  Benefits  so  general  in  their  nature,  so 
unappreciable  by 

" — idle  busy  men,  the  restless  fry 
That  bustle  to  and  fro  with  foolish  haste," 

may  seem  to  some  a  poor  return  for  the  waste  of  four  of  life's 
best  years.  They  demand  the  display  of  more  palpable  ac- 
quirement, else  they  account  us  unprofitable  servants.  For  this 
reason,  a  strong  prejudice  against  collegiate  education  has 
been  at  various  times  quite  prevalent  in  the  public  mind.  But 
its  real  ends  and  aims  have  been  mistaken.  Though  we  have 
attained  the  mastery  of  no  particular  branch  of  study,  yet  if 
we  can  but  feel  that  we  have  made  the  seemingly  little  prog- 
ress of  "learning  to  learn,"  we  have  accomplished  that  which 
well  repays  our  time  and  labor.  Term  after  term  and  year 
after  year  has  passed  away,  and  at  last  we  catch  a  glimpse 
of  the  length  and  breadth,  the  height  and  depth  of  human 
knowledge,  as  it  towers  in  the  dim  distance.  The  gaze  of 
the  most  scrutinizing  has  as  yet  been  only  able  to  scan  the 
exterior  and  not  to  penetrate  the  shrines  within.  So  over- 
whelming is  the  contemplation  that  we  seem  rather  to  be  lost 
in  our  ignorance  while  nearing  the  ocean  of  even  man's  pres- 
ent knowledge;  as  the  world,  in  all  its  magnificence  of  conti- 
nents and  mountain  ranges,  dwindles  into  insignificance  when 
we  contemplate  the  vast  infinitudes  of  the  stars  in  their  courses. 
Thus,  while  aware  that  partial  disappointments  have 
attended  our  college  career;  while  conscious  that  our  early 
ambitions  have  failed  of  consummation,  we  have  yet  seen  the 
recompense,  as  it  were,  of  these  disappointments  and  defeats 
in  that  humanizing  and  liberalizing  experience,  so  healthy  and 
invigorating,  to  which  we  have  been  subject;  we  have  seen,  in 
a  word,  the  essential  difference  between  the  reality  of  col- 
legiate experience  and  its   anticipation,  as  we  pictured   it  in

our  ante-collegiate  imaginations.  In  these  respects  it  has  been 
to  us  life's  introductory  chapter.  In  the  sum  total  of  our 
daily  tasks,  combined  with  the  experience  of  constant  inter- 
course with  one  another,  we  learned  one  grand  lesson  which 
we  are  now  to  apply  amid  the  vicissitudes  of  real  life. 

All  that  has  been  taught  us  in  regard  to  the  fallibility  of 
our  judgments  of  collegiate  labors  and  occupations ;  in  regard 
to  the  failure  of  collegiate  aspirations  for  attainment  and  posi- 
tion ;  in  regard  to  the  substitution  of  a  different  system  of 
benefits  and  rewards  for  that  we  had  at  first  so  confidently 
expected ;  all  this  it  behooves  us  to  bear  in  mind  while  map- 
ping out  from  our  present  point  of  view  the  general  plan  of 
the  future. 

As  four  years  ago,  we  stood  on  the  threshold  of  merely 
collegiate  life,  so  we  now  stand  on  the  threshold  of  one  that 
imposes  more  vital  responsibilities.  While  undertaking  them, 
we  must  first  of  all  be  fully  aware  that  disappointment  does 
not  constitute  failure.  As  we  push  onward  in  eager  expect- 
ancy of  accomplishing  all  that  we  have  once  undertaken,  we 
must  never  forget  that  disappointment  is  necessary  and  pre- 
liminary to  entire  success.  It  is  only  in  the  struggle  of  the 
living  men  of  an  age  after  the  impossible,  that  the  possible 
is  attained. 

How  instructive  in  this  respect  has  been  our  collegiate 
course?  You  all  know  how  commonly  and  how  confidently 
the  attainment  of  a  high  scholarly  position  is  predicted  for 
the  individual  members  of  every  class.  The  most  of  our  own 
number  have  clearly  demonstrated  that  such  hopes  cannot  be 
fully  realized ;  yet,  at  the  same  time,  to  every  man  of  us  his 
collegiate  career  has  been  an  undoubted  success.  So,  at  the 
present  moment,  we  cannot  but  be  aware  that,  however  large 
the  number  of  those  for  whom  the  highest  of  expectations 
may  have  been  cherished,  only  two  or  three  of  a  class,  at  the 
most,  are  usually  promoted  to  superior  stations  in  after-life. 
Yet  all  these  men  may  be  successful.  Although  we  do  not 
see  their  names  inscribed  upon  the  scroll  of  fame,  still  we 
find  each  of  them  the  solar  center  of  a  little  system  of 
acquaintances,  shedding  upon  them,  modestly  but  in  the  full 
3

fruition  of  his  intellectual  powers,  the  beneficent  rays  of  his 
culture  and  attainment. 

This  is  one  only  of  the  many  lessons  of  life  that,  with  such 
thoroughness  we  have  been  learning,  in  miniature,  at  college. 
Such  an  experience  may  be  regarded  as  a  base  line  which  we 
all  have  been  measuring  with  the  utmost  accuracy  and  preci- 
sion, both  in  toil  and  in  recreation,  from  which  we  can  now 
plot  into  the  far  future  a  perfect  system  of  triangulation ; 
while,  without  it,  we  should  have  as  the  known  base  of  our 
operations  only  a  single  point  of  departure,  to  advance  from 
which  we  must  strike  out  experimentally  and  uncertainly. 

Classmates !  Graduates  tell  us  that  oftentimes  after  they 
have  become  engaged  in  the  study  of  a  profession  or  the  more 
active  pursuits  of  business,  they  wake  from  day-reveries  to 
find  that  they  have  been  dreaming  of  the  manifold  pleasures 
and  delights  of  their  college  life,  still  easy  to  be  revived  in 
imagination,  though  forever,  forever  passed  away. 

They  tell  us,  too,  that  we  never  again  shall  know  men  so 
thoroughly,  so  honestly,  as  we  have  known  one  another  here ; 
that  we  never  again  shall  find  associates  with  whom  we  may 
have  such  sympathy,  such  communion  of  feeling,  as  we  have 
had  toward  one  another  in  our  college  days.  These  visions 
of  what  is  dead  and  gone  are  likely  to  present  themselves  to 
us,  these  thoughts  are  likely  to  be  verified  in  our  own  after- 
lives, whether  they  be  spent  in  the  peaceful  walks  of  life  or 
amid  the  excitements  of  a  camp. 

Happy  are  those  of  us  who  shall  look  back  on  college  life 
with  no  misanthropic  feelings  of  enmity  or  ill-will,  but  with 
the  pleasant  associations  of  cheerful  faces  and  genial  inter- 
course; who  shall  be  willing  rather  to  drop  a  tear  of  regret 
that  those  days  can  never  return  than  to  awaken  reminis- 
cences of  any  petty  vexations  which  were  incidental  to  them. 

If  hereafter  our  paths  of  labor  ever  meet,  let  us  extend 
to  one  another  the  generous  and  sincere  right  hand  of  friend- 
ship. Whatever  be  said  of  us,  let  it  never  be  said  that  as  sons 
of  the  same  alma  mater,  we  could  not  be  both  honest  and 
charitable,  manly  and  unselfish,  always  ready  to  lend  a  help- 
ing hand  to  any  brother  not  as  fortunate,  though  as  deserving, 
as  ourselves.

of  Merritt  and  Stickney,  two  Dartmouth  graduates,  in  St. 
Louis,  Mo.,  with  whom  he  had  trusted  all  of  his  little  capital, 
left  him  "broke,"  and,  feeling  too  old  to  make  a  new  and 
vigorous  start,  he  took  a  Government  position,  which  he  still 
holds,  in  the  General  Land  Office  (railroad  division),  adjust- 
ing contests  between  settlers  on  public  lands  and  land  grant 
railroads.     It  is  a  sort  of  judicial  position.

After  graduation  he  was  principal  of  Royalton  (Vt.)  Acad- 
emy, from  1862  to  1864.  From  1864  to  1869,  he  resided 
in  Washington,  D.  C,  first  as  city  missionary  for  a  few 
months;  then  was  appointed  a  corresponding  clerk  in  the 
United  States  Post-Office  Department,  teaching  private 
pupils  in  Greek  and  Latin  in  the  meantime,  and  studying 
theology  with  Dr.   Samson,  president  of  Columbian  College. 

In  1869  he  became  a  professor  in  Atlanta  (Ga.)  Univer- 
sity, and  was  connected  with  that  institution  for  thirty-seven 
years,  until  failing  eyesight  compelled  him,  in  1906,  to  resign 
his  professorship,  and  he  was  placed  upon  the  Carnegie 
Foundation. 

While  actively  engaged  in  teaching,  he  kept  himself  fresh 
for  his  work  by  attending  summer  schools  at  Harvard  and 
Cornell  universities  and  by  visiting  Rome. 

During  the  thirty-seven  years  of  his  connection  with  the 
university  he  had  very  much  to  do  with  its  management, 
serving  as  professor  of  Greek  and  Latin,  acting  president, 
dean,  treasurer,  trustee,  and  member  of  the  executive 
committee. 

The  graduates  have  shown  their  appreciation  of  the  work 
of  him  and  his  wife  by  presenting  their  portraits  to  the  uni- 
versity, in  1900.     He  is  even  now  one  of  the  trustees.

absent  from  active  duty  on  account  of  health  and  for  other 
reasons.

James  Adams  Clark 

James  Adams  Clark,  son  of  Joseph  and  Lucy  Jane  (White) 
Clark,  was  born  at  Randolph,  Vt.,  July  23,  1842.  His  father 
was  a  merchant  and  manufacturer.  He  fitted  at  Franklin. 
N.  H.,  and  entered  college  in  the  fall  of  1858,  and  continued 
through  the  course. 

At  graduation  he  was  5  feet  83/2  inches  in  height,  150  pounds 
in  weight ;  had  black  hair,  light  complexion,  smoked ;  was  a 
Republican,  a  Roman  Catholic,  and  intended  to  become  a 
lawyer. 

After  graduation  he  immediately  commenced  the  study  of 
law  with  his  uncle,  Hon.  Austin  F.  Pike,  at  Franklin,  N.  H., 
and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  at  Concord  in  1865,  and  practiced 
law  with  Mr.  Pike  for  two  years.  His  hearing  became  seriously 
impaired  in  1864,  so  much  so  that  he  was  obliged  to  give  up 
the  practice  of  law — doing  so  in  1867,  and  removed  to  Water- 
loo, Wis.,  and  engaged  in  farming,  in  which  he  was  eminently 
successful.  In  1884,  ne  wrote:  "Am  pleasantly  situated,  have 
a  very  good  farm,  plenty  of  leisure,  go  off  fishing  every  year, 
am  quite  comfortable  generally,  and  always  delighted  to  see  a 
Dartmouth  man."

He  continued  living  this  open-handed,  honorable  life  until 
February,  1906,  when  pneumonia  seized  him  and  carried 
him  off. 

His  death  was  felt  throughout  the  entire  section  of  the  State 
about  Waterloo.  He  was  well  known,  for  at  his  farm  home 
he  had  "dispensed  a  free-handed  hospitality  to  many  of  the 
best  known  men  of  the  State,  men  drawn  to  him  by  the  bril- 
liancy of  his  mind  and  by  his  scholarship.  He  had  one  of  the 
finest  private  libraries  in  the  State.  He  was  a  gentleman 
farmer  in  the  best  sense  of  both  words,  and  was  loved  by  all 
who  knew  him."  It  was  his  constant  endeavor  to  make  others 
happy,  and  the  poor  and  needy,  as  well  as  the  rich  and  distin- 
guished, were  drawn  to  him.  Morris  characterizes  him  else- 
where in  this  book  as  "that  prince  of  good  fellows." 

His  wife  and  two  children  survive  him.  The  daughter  is 
now  Mrs.  Thomas  E.  Brittingham,  of  Madison,  Wis.,  and  the 
son,  with  his  family,  lives  on  the  parental  homestead. 

He  reported  himself  in  1884  as  "ouden"  in  politics,  and 
Roman  Catholic  in  creed. 

(I  must  say  that  I  was  under  obligations  to  him  for  his  great 
interest  in  the  compilation  of  the  Class  History  sent  out  in 
1884,  and  for  much  valuable  information  he  gave  me ;  in  fact, 
he  showed  more  interest  in  the  matter  then  than  any  other 
member  of  the  class. — H.  S.  C.) 

In  1892  he  wrote  Gage  wanting  to  know  all  about  the  men 
of  '62  who  were  in  Washington,  and  saying  that  he  saw  White 
occasionally,  and  that  Morris  had  been  to  see  him.  The  latter 
seemed  to  have  a  very  fond  recollection  of  his  class,  said 
Clark,  and  he  added:  "I  hear  from  Tuck  and  Tibbetts  once 
in  a  while." 

"My  wife  and  I  are  the  same  we  always  have  been,  except 
that  my  hearing  is  totally  gone."

Charles  Russell  Clement,  son  of  Rev.  Jonathan  and  Phebe 
Foxcraft  (Phillips)  Clement,  was  born  at  Chester,  N.  H., 
November  8,  1840.  He  fitted  at  Kimball  Union  (Meriden) 
Academy,  and  entered  college  in  the  fall  of  1858,  and  continued 
through  the  full  course. 

At  graduation  he  was  5  feet  7  inches  in  height,  135  pounds 
in  weight;  had  dark  brown  hair,  chin  whiskers,  light  com- 
plexion, smoked;  was  a  Congregationalist,  a  Republican,  and 
intended  to  become  a  lawyer. 

After  graduation  he  was  appointed  to  a  clerkship  in  the 
Treasury  at  Washington,  which  he  retained  until  1865,  when 
he  returned  to  his  home  at  Woodstock,  Vt.,  and  commenced 
the  study  of  law  in  the  office  of  French  &  Johnson ;  he  was 
soon  appointed  assistant  clerk  of  the  county  court,  and  was 
the  acting  clerk  till  July,  1867;  in  July,  1867,  he  was  appointed 
to  a  responsible  clerical  position  in  the  superintendent's  office 
of  the  Pennsylvania  railroad  at  Altoona,  Pa.,  which  he  held  a 
few  weeks  only,  when  he  was  appointed  chief  clerk  of  the 
office  of  Superintendent  of  Transportation;  in  1870  he  was 
appointed  Division  Superintendent  of  the  Pullman  Palace  Car 
Company,  at  Jersey  City;  in  November,  1871,  he  was  made  the 
advertising  agent  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company; 
from  this  position  he  was  promoted  to  the  responsible  place 
of  General  Baggage  Agent,  having  charge  of  all  matters  con- 
nected with  the  transportation  of  baggage  on  all  the  lines  of 
the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company  east  of  Pittsburg  and  Erie. 

Under  his  skillful  management,  the  loss  and  damage  to  bag- 
gage was  reduced  to  the  minimum,  and  his  success  in  settling 
claims  and  tracing  lost  articles  was  notable  in  railroad  circles. 
As  an  example,  during  the  Centennial  Exhibition,  in  1876, 
although  the  Pennsylvania  railroad  moved  1,384,966  pieces  of 
baggage  that  year,  they  had  to  pay  only  $167.69  on  account  of 
baggage  destroyed  or  damaged,  and  only  $1,739.30  for  baggage 
lost  or  stolen,  and  the  management  of  the  company  highly  com- 
plimented Mr.  Clement  for  the  great  ability  displayed  by  him 
in  his  official  duties.

He  was  very  popular,  and  a  general  favorite  in  all  circles, 
and  a  successful  future  was  predicted  for  him. 

He  was  taken  with  a  severe,  and,  as  it  proved,  a  fatal  illness 
of  but  a  few  weeks'  duration,  and  died  at  Philadelphia,  January 
8,  1S81. 

He  was  buried  in  West  Laurel  Hill  Cemetery,  on  the  banks 
of  the  Schuylkill. 

He  was  never  married. 

The  Railway  Journal,  at  the  close  of  a  long  notice  of  his  life 
and  death,  says  :  "The  memory  of  'Charley  Clement'  will  be 
tenderly  cherished  in  the  New  England  home  of  his  earlier 
years,  as  well  as  in  the  State  of  his  adoption,  where  the  prime 
of  his  life  was  passed."

out  the  history  of  Northfield,  N.  H.,  published  by  the  town 
and  edited  by  Mrs.  L.  R.  H.  Cross,  his  wife. 

In  this  history  are  tributes  by  others  than  the  Cross  family 
to  his  two  sons,  of  whom  and  their  loss  he  has  not  the  heart  to 
write.

pleasure  in  Europe,  visiting  most  of  the  important  points.

(Washington)  until  it  was  merged  into  the  Metropolitan 
National  Bank ;  took  out  the  charter  and  was  President  of  the

The  past  two  years  he  has  suffered  from  physical  ills,  which 
came  upon  him  suddenly,  and,  along  with  the  other  troubles, 
impairment  of  eyesight. 

However,  he  does  not  complain,  and  has  a  good  hope  that 
his  physical  ailments  will  grow  no  worse,  but  may  steadily 
improve.

of  A.M.  and  in  1898  that  of  Ph.D.  at  New  York  University. 
Since  1884  he  has  been  abroad  twice.  He  has  held  no  public 
office.  He  owns  a  pleasant  city  home,  as  well  as  a  much- 
admired  bungalow  on  Casco  Bay.  His  health  has  been  good, 
and  he  has  escaped  many  of  the  ills  that  afflict  us  mortals, 
and  trusts  that  there  are  some  years  still  of  active  life  before 
him.  His  memories  of  old  Dartmouth,  and  of  Reed  Hall  in 
particular,  are  very  much  alive. 

Clings  to  his  former  political  and  religious  creeds. 

He  married  Miss  Mary  L.  Hanscom,  of  Auburn,  Me.,  at  that

George  Farr,  son  of  John  and  Tryphena  (Morse)  Farr, 
was  born  at  Littleton,  N.  H.,  February  12,  1836.  His  father 
was  a  lawyer.  He  fitted  at  Thetford  (Vt.)  Academy,  and 
entered  Amherst  College,  and  remained  one  year,  when  he 
entered  Dartmouth  at  the  beginning  of  Sophomore  year,  and

Marshall  Sanders  Post,  1882;  Department  Commander  for 
New  Hampshire,  1884;  and  delegate  to  the  National  Encamp-

Littleton  Musical  Association,  and  Director  of  Littleton  Sav- 
ings Bank,  1889-95.   He  died  March  20,  1895. 

He  "was  an  ideal  citizen ;  the  dominant  trait  of  his  char- 
acter was  purity  of  thought  and  action,  and  all  his  aims  were 
high."     "He  left  a  record  without  a  stain." 

He  intended  becoming  a  lawyer,  but  his  severe  wound, 
together  with  sunstroke,  so  injured  his  health  that  he  had  to 
give  it  up.  He  remained  in  the  same  political  faith,  and  his 
creed  was  the  "Golden  Rule;"  was  a  Mason.

At  graduation  he  was  5  feet  8  inches  in  height,  150  pounds 
in  weight ;  had  dark  brown  hair,  side  whiskers,  sandy  com- 
plexion, smoked ;  a  Methodist,  Republican,  and  undecided  as 
to  future  vocation. 

After  graduation  he  was  principal  of  the  High  School  at 
Contoocookville,  N.  H.,  to  November,  1862 ;  then  principal  of 
the  High  School  at  Franklin,  N.  H.,  to  May,  1865  ;  taught  at 
the  Academy  at  Corinth,  Vt.,  and  at  the  Falley  Seminary, 
N.  Y.,  each  for  a  short  time ;  then  was  in  business  at  Law- 
rence, Mass.,  until  June,  1868;  then  principal  of  the  Avery 
School,  at  Dedham,  Mass.,  until  August,  1871  ;  principal  of 
the  Blake  School  at  Hyde  Park,  and  afterward  principal  of  the 
''Grew"  School,  from  which  position  he  was  made  sub-master 
of  the  Dorchester  Everett  School,  in  Boston,  which  position 
he  resigned  after  having  filled  it  for  twenty-eight  years.  In 
1907  he  was  engaged  on  some  literary  work  which  had  been 
in  progress  for  some  years,  and  which  he  hoped  to  complete ; 
but  it  is  not  yet  (1909)  finished.  He  has  been  at  work  on 
a  genealogy  and  a  family  history,  but  these  are  for  his  chil- 
dren only.  The  work  which,  according  to  him,  is  the  only 
one  that  is  really  literary,  is  a  translation  of  the  "Iliad"  of 
Homer,  which  is  now  nearing  completion.  It  is  a  literal  trans- 
lation, line  for  line,  but  no  lazy  boy  could  cheat  his  teacher  by 
a  mere  copy. 

These  and  a  small  manuscript  volume  of  poems,  written  in 
moments  of  leisure,  are  all  he  has  worth  mention ;  at  least,  that 
is  what  he  says. 

His  five  sons  all  married  and  all  succeeded  well,  and  all  but 
one  are  alive.  All  the  sons  had  children,  so  that  Fellows  has 
eleven  grandchildren  to  gladden  his  life.  He  is  a  Mason,  a 
Republican,  and  a  Methodist.

Nathaniel  Parker  Gage 

Nathaniel  Parker  Gage,  son  of  Samuel  Kimball  and  Myra 
(Parker)  Gage,  was  born  at  Pelham,  N.  H.,  April  26,  1838. 
His  father  was  a  shoe  manufacturer.  He  fitted  at  Phillips 
Andover  Academy,  entered  college  in  the  fall  of  1858,  and  con- 
tinued through  the  course. 

At  graduation  he  was  5  feet  10  inches  in  height,  155  pounds 
in  weight ;  had  black  hair,  full  beard,  dark  complexion ;  paid 
his  own  college  expenses ;  a  Congregationalist,  Republican,  and 
undecided  as  to  future  occupation. 

After  graduation  he  became  a  teacher,  and  followed  that 
profession  until  his  death. 

He  taught  at  North  Hampton,  N.  H.,  to  March,  1864;  Ripon, 
Wis.,  to  August,  1866;  Fort  Atkinson,  Wis.,  to  August,  1867;

Mystic  River,  Conn.,  to  July,  1870,  when  he  removed  to  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  where  he  resided  the  remainder  of  his  life. 

He  was  the  principal  of  the  Seaton  School  to  1874,  and  from 
that  date  was  supervising  principal  of  schools. 

He  had  the  reputation  of  being  an  able  and  valuable  instruc- 
tor and  supervisor. 

In  the  memorial  address  by  Mr.  A.  T.  Stuart,  superintendent 
of  the  Washington  public  schools,  are  these  words :  "I  disparage 
no  one,  living  or  dead,  when  I  say  that  no  teacher  in  the  Capital 
City  has  ever  exerted  a  wider  or  more  beneficent  influence  upon

our  people  as  a  teacher,  as  a  citizen,  or  as  a  man,  than  did 
Nathaniel  P.  Gage."  "He  was  not  only  a  superior  teacher 
and  a  model  supervisor,  but  he  was  an  accurate 
scholar,  a  man  of  discriminating  taste  and  a  student  of  art.'' 
"The  relations  between  him  and  his  friends  were  those  of 
absolute  confidence  and  affection."  Mr.  Stuart  knew  Gage  and 
his  worth,  for  they  had  worked  side  by  side  for  thirty  years, 
beginning  their  careers  in  the  schools  of  Washington  on  the 
same  day. 

In  1905  one  of  the  new  public  school  buildings  was  dedicated 
the  "Gage  School"  in  honor  of  him. 

He  met  his  death  on  August  7,  1903.  He  died  in  Vermont 
at  the  top  of  a  mountain,  which  he  had  ascended  for  the  view. 
At  the  time  of  his  death  he  had  as  supervising  principal  about 
100  teachers  under  him. 

His  sympathies  were  with  the  Republican  Party,  and  he  was 
a  Congregationalist.  He  made  the  tour  of  Europe  in  1878. 
He  lived  and  died  a  bachelor. 


Dr.  George  Fuller  Gill 

George  Fuller  Gill.,  son  of  Charles  and  Deborah  Ann 
(Belcher)  Gill,  was  born  at  Farmington,  Me.,  February  5, 
1843.  His  father  was  a  sea  captain  and  merchant.  He  fitted 
at  Phillips  Exeter  Academy,  entered  college  in  the  Fall  of 
1859,  and  continued  through  the  course. 

At  graduation  he  was  5  feet  10  inches  in  height,  145  pounds 
in  weight ;  had  black  hair,  dark  complexion,  smoked ;  a  Con- 
gregationalist, a  Democrat,  and  intended  to  become  a  lawyer. 

After  graduation  he  at  once  entered  the  military  service  as 
hospital  steward  in  a  regiment  of  Rhode  Island  cavalry ; 
attended  Harvard  Medical  School  in  1862-3 ;  was  appointed 
a  United  States  Medical  Cadet  in  March,  1863,  and  was  on 
duty  at  St.  Louis,  and  pursued  his  medical  studies  at  the 
Medical  College  of  the  University  of  St.  Louis,  graduating 
M.D.  in  March,  1864;  at  that  date  he  was  made  Acting 
Assistant  Surgeon  of  the  Army  at  Madison  General  (Army) 
Hospital  in  Indiana,  and  so  continued  to  the  close  of  the  war 
in  July,  1865,  when  he  left  the  service  and  settled  in  the  prac- 


72  GRADUATES 

tice  of  medicine  at  St.  Louis,  where  he  resided  until  his  death. 

He  was  in  the  frontier  service  in  the  Indian  campaign  of 
the  Winter  of  1869-70,  as  Surgeon  to  the  Fifth  and  Tenth 
regiments,  United  States  Cavalry. 

He  was  abroad  the  years  of  1873-4  and  1882  studying  at 
the  principal  hospitals  of  Europe.  He  held  the  professorship 
of  diseases  of  children  at  the  St.  Louis  Medical  College,  and 
was  one  of  the  staff  of  St.  Luke's  Hospital.  He  died  June  4, 
1892,  at  Magnolia,  Mass. 

It  was  characteristic  of  the  man  that  during  the  outbreak 
of  cholera  at  St.  Louis,  shortly  after  the  Civil  War,  he 
remained  constantly  at  his  work.  Taken  away  in  the  prime  of 
life,  he  had  accomplished  a  full  life's  work,  and  left  the  memory 
of  a  noble  nature  and  skilful  physician. 

The  medical  staff  of  St.  Luke's  Hospital  thus  gave  voice 
to  their  grief: 

"  'Dr.  George  F.  Gill  died  at  Magnolia,  Mass.,  on  June  4th, 
1892.'  In  this  brief  sentence  is  told  the  loss,  to  us,  of  a  trusted 
friend  and  colleague,  and  to  the  hospital  of  a  valued  sup- 
porter. He  was  a  man  whose  honor  was  above  reproach,  and 
whose  life  should  be  to  us  an  encouragement  and  a  stimulus. 

"As  a  physician,  he  was  able,  conscientious,  and  charitable ; 
ever  ready  to  assist  by  his  services  or  advice  those  who  needed 
help. 

"Of  a  nature  eminently  retiring,  his  real  worth  was  known 
only  to  his  friends.  Of  such  a  man  the  world  may  hear  little, 
but  those  who  knew  him  loved  him,  and  to  them  his  death 
means  the  loss  of  a  friend,  sympathetic,  genial,  honest,  and 
true." 

He  married,  in  1889,  the  daughter  of  the  late  Hon.  Richard 
Frothingham,  Charlestown,  Mass.

Octavius  Barrell  Goodwin,  son  of  John  Marston  and  Mehit-

whiskers ;  Unitarian  in  creed.  Democrat,  undecided  as  to 
future  vocation. 

After  graduation  he  engaged  in  mercantile  business  in  North 
Carolina;  returned  to  Maine  in  1864;  went  to  Oil  City,  Pa., 
in  1865,  and  was  there  engaged  in  real  estate  and  machinery 
business  (sale  of  engines,  boilers,  and  steam  pumps)  until 
1883,  when  he  went  to  Norfolk,  Va.,  where,  also,  he  dealt 
in  machinery.  While  at  Oil  City  he  was  a  member  of  the  city 
council  and  president  of  the  Water  and  Gas  Commission  of 
the  city.  In  1893  his  health  was  seriously  impaired  and  he 
moved  to  Erie,  Pa.,  to  become  manager  of  the  sales  depart- 
ment of  T.  M.  Xagle's  boiler  and  engine  works.  However, 
early  in  1894  he  bought  the  tool  factory  of  Wm.  Ross  & 
Bros.,  at  Sharon  Hill,  Pa.     This  was  his  last  business  change. 

In  1897  he  lost  his  wife,  and  in  October,  1907,  his  mother 
died  at  Biddeford,  Me.  Though  his  health  was  uncertain  for 
some  time,  there  were  no  manifest  critical  symptoms,  but  on 
the  14th  of  January,  1908,  he  died  very  suddenly.  His  two 
sons  survive  him — the  elder  at  Rome,  Italy,  the  younger  at 
Philadelphia,  Pa. 

He  was  a  Democrat,  and  in  1884  was  attending  the  services 
of  the  Episcopal  Church. 

He  married  Miss  Gertrude  Murdoch,  of  Philadelphia,  Pa.,

After  graduation  he  read  law  with  Hon.  Charles  Chesley,  at 
Wakefield,  and  with  Jordan  &  Rollins,  at  Great  Falls,  until 
September,  1864,  when  he  enlisted  in  the  First  New  Hamp- 
shire Heavy  Artillery;  was  discharged  by  special  order,  and 
was  made  first  lieutenant  and  adjutant  of  the  Eighteenth  New 
Hampshire  Regiment  (infantry)  in  October,  1864;  served 
until  the  spring  of  1865,  when  he  was  obliged  to  resign  on 
account  of  ill  health;  he  then  returned  to  Wakefield  and 
resumed  his  legal  studies — as  far  as  his  impaired  health  would 
permit;  after  remaining  a  few  years  at  that  place,  he  removed 
to  Dover,  and  was  connected  with  the  Hon.  S.  M.  Wheeler 
in  the  practice  of  law  for  about  one  year,  when  he  engaged  in 
the  profession  alone,  and  gained  a  very  high  position  at  the  New 
Hampshire  Bar,  and  gathered  a  large  and  profitable  practice. 
His  success  was  remarkable,  and  his  labor  unceasing — so  much 
so  that  his  health  became  most  seriously  impaired  in  1879  Dv 
overwork,  and  from  that  time  he  was  obliged  to  give  up  all  busi- 
ness. Within  two  years  after  moving  to  Dover  he  was  city 
solicitor,  an  office  held  by  him  again  in  1878-9.  He  was  also 
a  member  of  the  city  school  board. 

In  the  celebrated  trial  of  Joseph  B.  Buzzell,  in  Carroll 
County,  for  murder,  Hobbs  was  associated  with  the  attorney- 
general  for  the  prosecution,  and  bore  a  prominent  part.  His 
reputation  became  extended  and  his  practice  grew  rapidly. 

It  was  said  of  him  that  he  "flashed  into  distinction  like  a 
meteor  in  the  starry  midnight,"  and  another  styled  him  "the 
first  lawyer  in  New  Hampshire  of  his  years." 

"His  amiable  disposition,  his  modesty  and  generosity,  his 
complete  uprightness,  his  high  sense  of  honor,  and  his  lofty 
professional  ideals  endeared  him  to  all  who  knew  him." 

He  died  in  the  asylum  at  Somerville,  Mass.,  October  7,  1891, 
twelve  years  after  his  breaking  down. 

While  practicing  at  Dover  he  was  director  in  the  Stratford 
National  Bank,  and  trustee  of  the  Stratford  County  Savings 
Bank. 

He  married  Miss  Emma  J.  Christie,  daughter  of  Hon.  Daniel 
M.  Christie  (Dartmouth,  1815),  at  Dover,  N.  H.,  November  i8r 

1873-

"A  Spencerium  in  Symbols." 

"Swain   School  Lectures,"  and  an  edition  of  Chaucer. 

Of  the  "Swain  School  Lectures"  the  critics  said : 

"Not  scientific  treatises,  but  a  scholarly  and  often  whimsical 
exhibition  of  groups  of  mental  phenomena  or  analyses  of  mat- 
ters that  unscientific  minds  take  for  granted  without  thought 
of  investigation." 

"They  are  scholarly,  but  are  written  in  a  popular  style 
attractive  to  the  student  of  to-day,  who  must  be  interested 
before  he  can  be  instructed." 

"They  are  brief,  pointed,  and  interesting." 

"But  these  50,000  words  are  so  employed  by  the  author 
as  to  reveal  the  meaning  of  hundreds  of  volumes  of  writers 
upon  philosophy  which  would  be  meaningless  to  the  mind  that 
had  not  received  some  such  revelation." 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Philological  Society  and 
of  the  Rodman  Post,  G.  A.  R. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  he  had  projected  a  work  on  a  new 
system  of  logic,  and  his  notes  are  now  in  the  hands  of  an  emi- 
nent scholar  for  examination  to  see  if  they  are  sufficiently  com- 
plete for  publication. 

While  he  was  living  at  Cambridge  his  only  daughter,  unmar- 
ried, died  at  his  home.  His  wife  survives  him,  as  do  his  three

Rev.  Henry  Marden 

Henry  Marden,  son  of  Samuel  and  Phebe  (Noyes)  Marden, 
was  born  at  New  Boston,  N.  H.,  December  9,  1837.  His  father 
was  a  farmer.  He  fitted  at  Francestown  and  Mount  Vernon 
(N.  H.)  Academies,  and  entered  college  in  the  fall  of  1858, 
and  continued  through  the  course. 

At  graduation  he  was  5  feet  7^2  inches  in  height,  135  pounds 
in  weight ;  sandy  hair  and  complexion ;  paid  his  own  college 
expenses ;  was  a  Republican,  a  Presbyterian,  and  intended  to 
become  a  minister. 

After  graduation  he  taught  at  Bradford,  Mass.,  1862-4;  at 
the  Hitchcock  Academy,  Brimfield,  Mass.,  1864-6;  studied 
divinity  at  Andover  Theological  Seminary  till  1869;  ordained 
a  Congregational  minister  at  Francestown,  September  2,  1869 ; 
at  once  went  as  missionary  to  Aintab,  Central  Turkey,  under 
the  auspices  of  the  American  Board,  having  general  oversight 
of  the  Central  Turkey  Missions ;  returned  to  this  country  in 
July,  1875,  and  remained  until  October,  1878,  engaged  in  min- 
isterial work;  then  he  returned  to  Turkey  and  was  stationed 
at  Marash,  where  he  resided  until  1905.  He  had  the  supervision 
of  some  twenty-five  Protestant  congregations,  besides  being  a 
teacher  and  trustee  in  the  Theological  Seminary  at  Marash. 
He  was  of  important  service  to  the  cause  of  humanity  and 
Christianity  during  the  terrible  scenes  that  occurred  in  Central 
Turkey  in  the  years  of  1878-9,  when  the  city  of  Zeitoon,  which 
had  a  population  of  10,000  Christians,  was  in  open  rebellion 
against  the  Turkish  Government,  being  driven  to  beggary  and

desperation  by  the  merciless  exactions  and  extortions  of  the 
Turkish  rulers,  who  made  it  a  point  to  rob  the  Christian  popu- 
lation. A  large  force  of  troops  was  on  its  way  to  destroy  Zei- 
toon  and  its  inhabitants,  being  impelled  by  love  of  plunder  and 
hatred  of  Christianity,  when  Mr.  Marden  was  asked  by  the 
English  Consul  and  the  Turkish  Governor  at  Aleppo  to  go 
to  Zeitoon  and  seek  to  adjust  the  difficulties  without  bloodshed. 
He  at  once  started  with  two  native  guides,  on  his  hazardous 
mission  for  Zeitoon,  which  is  situated  among  the  wild  peaks 
of  the  upper  Taurus ;  the  way  was  infested  by  Moslem  robbers, 
brigands  and  outlaws,  but  he  passed  them  all  and  entered  Zei- 
toon in  safety,  and  after  holding  a  conference  with  the  outlaws 
and  rebels  for  one  week,  he  succeeded  in  adjusting  their  wrongs 
to  such  a  degree  that  they  capitulated  and  signed  pledges  of 
loyalty.  When  he  started  on  his  return,  the  soldiers,  impatient 
to  attack  the  Christian  at  Zeitoon,  were  making  demonstra- 
tions to  that  end.  The  lives  of  the  10,000  Christians  being 
imperiled,  he  sent  a  messenger  on  a  hazardous  ride  of  130  miles 
on  horseback,  through  a  wild  country  and  amidst  bitter  foes, 
to  Aleppo,  in  order  to  report  his  successful  mission  before  the 
army  could  make  any  attack,  and  thus  prevent  any  movement. 
The  messenger  reached  Aleppo  the  next  day ;  the  result  of 
Marden's  mission  gave  great  satisfaction  to  the  Turkish  Gov- 
ernment, the  hostile  movement  was  stopped,  to  the  rage  and 
disgust  of  the  army,  and  Zeitoon  was  saved. 

For  this  signal  service  he  received  the  thanks  of  the  Turkish 
Governor-General  and  the  English  authorities,  and  was  after- 
wards appointed  by  our  Government  United  States  Consular 
Agent  at  Marash. 

His  health  failing,  he  left  Marash  for  the  United  States  in 
April,  1890,  with  his  wife  and  daughter.  When  he  reached 
Athens  on  the  4th  of  May  he  was  seriously  ill,  and  by  the 
advice  of  friends  was  removed  to  the  "Hospital  Evangelismos." 
His  disease  proved  to  be  a  malignant  form  of  typhus,  and 
despite  the  best  medical  skill  and  the  best  nursing,  he  died,  on 
the  13th  of  May.  He  was  buried  in  the  beautiful  Greek 
cemetery.

entered  college  in  the  fall  of  1858,  and  continued  through  the 
full  course. 

At  graduation  he  was  5  feet  11  inches  in  height,  145  pounds 
in  weight;  had  light  complexion,  brown  hair,  side  whiskers; 
paid  his  own  college  expenses ;  was  a  Republican,  a  Congre- 
gationalism and  intended  to  become  a  minister. 

After  graduation  he  at  once  went  to  Washington,  having 
a  call  to  labor  as  missionary  under  the  auspices  of  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church  of  that  city.  He  received  an  appointment 
to  a  clerkship  in  the  Treasury  Department  in  June,  1863, 
which  he  retained  some  years,  being  several  times  promoted. 
While  attending  to  his  duties  as  clerk  and  laboring  as  a  mis- 
sionary, he  pursued  a  course  of  theological  study.  In  1868 
he  was  ordained  an  elder  in  the  Presbyterian  Church,  and 
in  1875  was  ordained  minister  and  called  to  the  pastorate  of 
the  Eastern  Presbyterian  Church  of  Washington.  Here  he 
remained  six  years.  In  1881  he  began  work  in  a  mission  at 
Clabaugh  Hall  in  the  northwest  section  of  the  city,  and  this 
grew  so  rapidly  that  a  chapel  had  soon  to  be  built,  and  a  new 
church  organized,  the  Unity  Presbyterian  Church,  and  he  was 
installed  pastor  of  the  same  April  15,  1882. 

In  1892  the  corner  stone  of  a  new  building  was  laid,  and  in 
memory  of  the  donor  the  name  of  the  church  was  changed 
to  Gunton  Temple  Memorial  Church.  The  building  was  soon 
finished  and  dedicated,  and  here  Dr.  Patch  labored  faithfully 
until  1896,  when  a  stroke  of  paralysis  compelled  his  retirement 
from  active  work,  and  he  was  made  pastor  emeritus.  He  lived 
two  years  longer,  and  died  April  1,  1898. 

He  did  good  work,  and,  as  a  faithful  pastor  and  true  Chris- 
tian, he  had  the  respect  and  esteem  of  all  who  were  brought 
in  contact  with  him. 

He  made  the  trip  of  Europe  in  the  summer  and  fall  of  1878. 

He  published  a  volume  of  poems  of  much  merit  a  few  years 
previous  to   1884. 

He  was  a  Republican,  and  expressed  the  belief  that  he  was 
"thoroughly  orthodox,  as  every  Presbyterian  clergyman 
should  be." 

He  married  Miss  Elizabeth  Walker  at  Washington,  January 
13,  1864.     She  died  July  24,  1909.

years  and  was  very  fond  of  him,  and  wrote  Gage  that  Peck's 
death  was  a  heavy  loss  to  him.

political  office,  but  has  always  been  interested  in  politics  for 
his  friends,  and  has  taken  an  active  part  for  many  years.  His

of  Chicago  and  his  district  for  appointment  to  the  district 
judgeship  of  Northern  Illinois  by  President  McKinley.  He  is 
glad  that  the  appointment  did  not  fall  to  him,  as  he  is  fond 
of  the  independence  of  his  position.  Had  he  not  been  so 
much  opposed  to  running  for  an  elective  office,  he  would  have 
been  upon  the  Supreme  Bench  of  his  State  a  number  of

Sarah  (Nudd)  Tuck,  was  born  at  Exeter,  N.  H.,  August  26, 
1842.  He  fitted  at  Phillips  Exeter  Academy,  entered  college 
during  the  Freshman  year,  and  continued  throughout  the 
course. 

At  graduation  he  was  5  feet  8  inches  in  height,  132  pounds 
in  weight ;  had  light  brown  hair,  light  complexion ;  was  a  Uni- 
tarian, a  Republican,  and  intended  to  become  a  lawyer. 

After  graduation  he  read  law  in  the  office  of  his  father  at 
Exeter  during  the  fall  of  1862,  but  was  obliged  to  give  up 
study  on  account  of  weakness  of  his  eyesight,  and  spent  the 
following  winter  in  Louisville  and  St.  Louis.  In  December, 
1863,  by  the  advice  of  an  oculist,  he  sailed  for  Europe  on  the 
sailing  vessel  Isaac  Webb,  a  clipper  ship  of  the  old  Black  Ball 
line,  for  the  benefit  of  the  sea  voyage  and  also  to  consult  a 
distinguished  oculist  in  Switzerland,  as  well  as  for  rest  and 
travel.  In  June,  1864,  his  eyesight  being  considerably  improved, 
he  received  the  appointment  of  Consular  Clerk  under  a  law 
that  had  just  been  passed  for  the  establishment  of  a  better 
consular  service.  He  went  from  Geneva  to  Paris  and  passed 
a  severe  examination  under  the  supervision  of  Mr.  Dayton, 
United  States  Minister,  and  John  Bigelow,  United  States  Con- 
sul. Mr.  Dayton  died  in  December,  1864.  Mr.  Bigelow  was 
appointed  United  States  Minister  in  Mr.  Dayton's  place  by 
W.  H.  Seward,  Secretary  of  State,  and  Tuck  was  made  Vice- 
consul,  and,  in  fact,  Acting  Consul  during  the  interregnum  of 
five  months  preceding  the  appointment  of  John  G.  Nicolay  as 
Consul,  in  the  summer  of  1865.  In  June,  1866,  he  resigned 
his  position  as  Vice-consul  and  entered  the  service  of  John 
Munroe  &  Co.,  foreign  bankers,  New  York  (Paris  house, 
Munroe  &  Co.),  August  1,  1866.  He  became  a  partner  in 
the  firm  in  1871,  was  married  in  1872,  and  retired  from  busi- 
ness January  1,  1881.  He  was  for  many  years  afterward  a 
Director  of  the  Chase  National  Bank,  and  became  largely  inter- 
ested with  James  J.  Hill  in  the  construction  and  development 


102  GRADUATES 

of  the  Great  Northern  Railway  of  Minnesota,  and  in  this  he 
has  ever  since  had  his  largest  interests. 

While  actively  engaged  in  business  he  divided  his  time 
between  New  York  and  Paris,  but  since  his  retirement  he 
has  lived  for  the  most  part  in  Paris,  though  maintaining  a 
residence  at  No.  7  East  Sixty-first  Street,  New  York. 

In  politics  he  is  an  independent,  and  in  matters  religious 
a  Free  Thinker. 

He  married  Miss  Julia  Stell,  daughter  of  William  S.  Stell, 
formerly  an  American  merchant,  established  in  Manchester, 
England,  at  St.  George's,  Hanover  Square,  London,  April  22, 
1872,  and  at  the  American  Church,  Paris,  April  23,  1872. 

No  children. 

[Note. — This  is  all  the  record  Tuck  gives  me;  but  this  is 
not  enough.  When  women  and  men,  not  connected  with  Dart- 
mouth, to  whom  I  have  sent  formal  letters  asking  for  informa- 
tion about  some  one  of  the  dead  and  gone,  bring  in  the  name 
of  Tuck  in  their  replies  as  if  he  were  their  friend,  or  quote 
from  him  as  if  to  bolster  up  their  opinion ;  when  I  have  the 
letter  of  one  classmate  to  another  telling  of  Tuck's  kindness 
to  a  third ;  when  men  can  find  time  to  send  me  merely  the 
barest  outlines  of  their  own  doings,  but  have  time  enough  to 
tell  me  about  having  "had  an  interview  with  Tuck  as  he 
passed  through,"  or  receiving  "a  nice  letter  from  Ned  Tuck 
a  little  while  ago,"  or  seeing  "Ned  Tuck  several  times  last 
spring,"  or  hearing  "from  Tuck  once  in  a  while,"  and  another 
writes:  "He  is  a  noble  fellow,  and  I  am  proud  of  him  pub- 
licly and  privately  as  a  classmate ;"  and  yet  another,  "Why 
could  not  we,  as  a  class,  what  are  left  of  us,  make  some 
suitable  acknowledgment  to  our  classmate,  Edward  Tuck,  for 
his  generous  gifts  to  old  Dartmouth?  Think  of  it" — then  I 
know  that  their  fondness  for  him  demands  of  me  more  of  a 
sketch  than  he  has  given.  Again,  as  I  find  that  Doctor  Tucker, 
briefly  reviewing  the  period  of  reconstruction  and  expansion 
which  covers  the  past  sixteen  years,  in  his  Report  issued  to 
the  Alumni  over  the  date  of  June  7,  1909,  has  much  to  say  of 
Tuck's  gifts  to  Dartmouth  and  the  work  and  aims  of  the  Tuck 


GRADUATES  IO3 

School,  I  feel  that  it  is  very  meet  that  the  men  of  '62  insist 
on  more  of  Tuck's  history  than  he  has  given  us.  As  his  life  is 
not  at  all  explained  without  some  knowledge  of  his  father, 
I  give  the  barest  outline  of  the  work  of  a  man  who  held  the 
same  place  in  the  hearts  of  the  men  who  knew  him  best  as 
does  the  son  in  ours. — H.  S.  C] 

Like  every  other  boy  in  the  Phillips  Exeter  Academy  during 
the  years  that  Dr.  Soule  was  principal,  Tuck  had  a  thorough 
preparation  for  college,  and  at  Dartmouth  his  scholarship  was 
good  and  at  graduation  he  stood  among  the  first  men  of  his 
class,  and  was  elected  Class  Orator. 

Most  men  who  stand  at  or  near  the  head  of  their  class  owe 
that  position  not  to  text-book  scholarship  alone,  but  to  some- 
thing above  and  beyond  that,  and  an  illustration  of  this  is 
Tuck's  rapid  rise  in  the  Consular  Service  and  his  achievements 
in  the  financial  world.  His  successes  have  all  been  in  keeping 
with  the  spirit  of  his  life  and  work  at  school  and  college. 

Even  his  retirement  at  the  early  age  of  forty  was  not  a  nar- 
rowing but  an  enlarging  of  his  activities  and  interests.  He  has 
never  let  go  his  accurate  knowledge  of  commercial  and  mone- 
tary affairs  nor  his  active  relationships  with  men  of  affairs 
both  social  and  political,  and  concerning  many  public  ques- 
tions he  has  expressed  his  views  through  the  columns  of  the 
London  Economist,  the  Statist,  and  the  Nineteenth  Century. 
While  all  this  is  true,  his  retirement  has  given  him  the  oppor- 
tunity to  give  himself  largely  to  things  higher.  One  who  has 
good  means  of  knowing  writes  that  in  art  Tuck  is  an  experi- 
enced judge,  a  connoisseur,  whose  collections  of  tapestry  and 
of  Sevres  and  Oriental  porcelain  are  a  delight  to  all.  His 
highest  work,  however,  is  his  labor  for  Humanity. 

Many  have  been  the  recipients  of  his  benefactions  in  Paris — 
the  Fresh  Air  Fund,  the  Society  for  Promoting  the  Welfare  of 
Young  Women  and  Girls,  and  numerous  other  charitable 
organizations  or  associations  in  which  Mrs.  Tuck  takes  an  active 
personal  interest.  In  1902  the  Hopital  Stell  at  Rueil  was  built 
by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tuck  and  was  so  named  after  Mrs.  Tuck's 
father  and  mother.  It  is  a  free  hospital  for  the  benefit  of  the 
inhabitants   of  the  town  of  Rueil,   in  which  is   included  the 


104  GRADUATES 

Chateau  de  la  Malmaison,  adjacent  to  their  country  home. 
The  hospital  has  accommodations  for  twenty  patients,  and  is 
supported  entirely  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tuck. 

France  has  officially  proved  her  appreciation  of  these  things 
and  her  esteem  of  the  man  by  conferring  on  him  the  Cross  of 
the  Legion  of  Honor. 

So  much  for  the  work  away  from  his  real  home.  Here, 
large  contributions  have  been  made  to  the  New  York  Diet 
Kitchen,  to  the  French  Hospital  in  New  York,  and  to  the 
Cottage  Hospital  in  Exeter,  his  native  town.  His  affection 
for  New  Hampshire  and  his  pride  in  its  history  have  had 
more  than  one  illustration.  Adjoining  Exeter  is  the  little 
town  of  Stratham,  and  its  most  attractive  spot,  Stratham  Hill, 
was  well  known  to  him  in  his  boyhood  days.  Learning  that 
it  was  to  be  sold,  he  purchased  it,  and  on  Old  Home  Day, 
1905,  presented  it  to  the  town  of  Stratham  to  be  used  as  a 
public  park.  The  meaning  of  this  gift,  both  to  him  and  to 
the  people,  is  best  told  in  his  own  words :  "It  would  be  a 
misfortune  if  this  beautiful  hill,  with  its  grand  views  of  the 
surrounding  country  and  of  the  ocean,  to  which  the  people 
have  had  access  from  time  immemorial,  should  be  closed  to 
the  free  use  of  the  public,  or  stripped  of  its  fine  growth  of 
timber.  I  fully  share  in  the  sentiments  of  affection  with  which 
the  inhabitants  of  the  neighboring  towns  always  regarded  it, 
and  I  should  be  glad  to  ensure  its  preservation  as  a  historic 
landmark  and  public  resort  by  presenting  the  property  to  the 
town  of  Stratham." 

For  all  the  sons  of  New  Hampshire  (and  what  a  crowd  of 
them  are  Dartmouth  men!),  though  nominally  for  the  New 
Hampshire  Historical  Society,  he  is  providing  the  funds  for 
the  erection  of  a  building  that  will  be  the  permanent  home  of 
the  society  and  an  abiding  place  for  its  library  and  deposits  of 
historic  and  artistic  value.  Before  this  gift  the  outlook  was 
gloomy.  The  society  had  outgrown  its  quarters  and  its  means 
were  too  meager  to  procure  a  home  suited  to  its  needs  if  its 
work  were  to  continue  and  its  purposes  to  be  realized.  The 
gift  of  the  money  is  not  all,  but  time  and  toil  has  he  devoted 
to  the  preparations  for  the  construction  of  the  building.     "It 


GRADUATES  105 

is,"  says  the  architect,  "to  be  of  classic  dignity.  The  exterior, 
all  of  granite,  is  designed  in  the  Greek  Doric  spirit.  The 
interior  as  well  as  the  exterior  will  be  of  a  dignified  monu- 
mental type."  The  cut  in  this  book  is  from  a  drawing  and 
cannot  show  the  true  beauty  of  the  building. 

A  quotation  from  a  personal  letter  just  received  will  help 
us  to  picture  to  ourselves  a  little  more  clearly  what  the  cut  so 
imperfectly  represents : 

"1  wish  I  could  adequately  describe  the  wonderful  beauty 
of  the  Historical  Society  building,  for  truly  its  chaste  and 
exquisite  lines  are  fair  to  look  upon.  Although  the  mate- 
rial is  Concord  granite,  still,  owing  to  the  exceedingly  refined 
cutting — the  ten-inch  cut — the  exterior  presents  the  appearance 
of  white  marble.  The  story  immediately  above  the  basement 
has  been  begun,  revealing  the  superb  designs. 

"Surely,  it  is  a  royal  gift,  if  ever  a  royal  gift  can  be 
imagined." 

When  finished,  this  will  be  as  complete,  elaborate  and 
beautiful  a  structure  as  any  of  its  kind  in  this  country.  The 
probable  cost  of  the  building  alone  will  be  but  little  short  of 
a  half-million  dollars. 

Interesting  as  all  these  things  are  to  us,  his  classmates, 
because  we  love  him  and  want  to  know  all  that  he  does,  the 
gift  we  care  most  about  and  the  one  that  prompted  the  sugges- 
tion that  as  a  class  "we  make  some  suitable  acknowledgment," 
is  the  one  to  old  Dartmouth.  In  1899  he  wrote  to  President 
Tucker  that  he  wished  to  make  a  donation  to  the  College,  to  be 
known  as  the  "Amos  Tuck  Endowment  Fund,"  in  memory  of 
his  father.  He  expressed  the  desire  that  the  fund  with  which 
he  presented  the  College  should  be  kept  intact  and  separate 
and  distinct  from  the  general  funds  of  the  College,  and  that 
the  income  should  be  applied  to  the  following  purposes : 

First  and  principally,  to  the  maintenance  of  the  salaries  of 
the  President  and  Faculty  at  figures  which  would  tend  to 
secure  and  retain  for  the  College  the  services  of  men  of  the 
highest  ability  and  culture.  He  stated  it  to  be  his  expectation 
that  the  Trustees  would  apply  a  portion  of  the  income  to  the 


I06  GRADUATES 

increase  of  existing  salaries  and  a  portion  also  to  additional 
professorships  which  might  in  the  future  be  established  in  the 
College  proper  or  in  post-graduate  departments. 

Secondly,  and  in  minor  part,  the  income  was  to  be  applied 
to  the  maintenance  and  increase  of  the  College  Library. 

Later  on  Doctor  Tucker  expressed  a  desire  to  extend  the 
work  of  the  College  in  semi-professional  ways,  and  asked  that 
this  extension  take  a  definite  form  in  the  foundation  of  a 
post-graduate  course  to  be  called  the  "Amos  Tuck  School  of 
Administration  and  Finance,"  to  the  support  of  which  the 
income  of  the  fund  should  in  part  be  applied,  and  Tuck 
consented. 

In  1 90 1  he  made  a  further  donation  to  supply  the  necessary 
means  for  erecting,  equipping,  and  maintaining  a  building 
suited  to  the  uses  of  the  Tuck  School. 

In  his  recent  report  to  the  alumni  Doctor  Tucker  says  :  "The 
noble  benefaction  of  Edward  Tuck,  class  of  1862,  of  $300,000 
(now  $500,000),  exclusively  for  instruction,  is  a  stimulating 
force  working  quietly  but  effectively  throughout  our  graduate 
fellowship."  The  Tuck  building,  costing  $140,000,  was  an 
additional  gift.  In  thinking  of  these  gifts  it  is  worth  our  notice 
that  Doctor  Tucker  distinctly  avers  in  his  report  that  "the 
larger  benefactions  of  recent  years  have  not  been  the  result 
of  my  personal  efforts."  That  is,  Tuck's  gifts  came  from  the 
promptings  of  his  own  heart,  not  another's  head. 

To  show  what  Tuck  wished  the  scope  and  purpose  of  this 
new  School  to  be,  a  brief  quotation  from  him  is  not  out  of 
place : 

"In  the  conduct  of  the  school  to  which  you  have  done  my 
father's  memory  the  honor  of  attaching  his  name,  I  trust  that 
certain  elementary  but  vital  principles,  on  which  he  greatly 
dwelt  in  his  advice  to  young  men,  whether  entering  upon  a 
professional  or  business  career,  may  not  be  lost  sight  of  in 
the  variety  of  technical  subjects  of  which  the  regular  cur- 
riculum is  composed.  Briefly,  these  principles  or  maxims  are : 
Absolute  devotion  to  the  career  which  one  selects,  and  to  the 
interests  of  one's  superior  officers  or  employers ;  the  desire 
and   determination  to   do  more   rather   than   less    than    one's 


GRADUATES  107 

required  duties ;  perfect  accuracy  and  promptness  in  all  under- 
takings, and  absence  from  one's  vocabulary  of  the  word  'for- 
get;' never  to  vary  a  hair's  breadth  from  the  truth  nor  from 
the  path  of  strictest  honesty  and  honor,  with  perfect  confi- 
dence in  the  wisdom  of  doing  right  as  the  surest  means  of 
achieving  success.  To  the  maxim  that  'honesty  is  the  best 
policy'  should  be  added  another  that  altruism  is  the  highest  and 
best  form  of  egoism  as  a  principle  of  conduct  to  be  followed 
by  those  who  strive  for  success  and  happiness  in  public  or 
business  relations  as  well  as  those  of  private  life." 

Who  was  this  father  who  by  practice  more  than  by  pre- 
cept set  these  ideals  before  his  son  and  all  other  men?  His 
life  was  a  full  one,  and  its  story  would  mean  the  story  of 
the  political  issues  in  his  State  and  in  the  nation  for  more  than 
a  quarter  of  a  century. 

The  man  upon  whose  principles  the  Tuck  School  is  founded 
was  born  August  2,  1810;  prepared  for  college  at  Hampton 
(N.  H.)  Academy,  and  graduated  from  Dartmouth  in  1835. 
On  leaving  college  he  taught,  first  at  Pembroke  Academy  and 
later  at  his  old  school  in  Hampton.  Here  some  of  his  pupils 
were  young  men  of  his  own  age  or  beyond,  and  they  never 
forgot  their  teacher  or  his  teachings.  While  at  Hampton  he 
studied  law  and  was  admitted  to  practice  in  1838.  He  settled 
in  Exeter  and  steadily  rose  in  his  profession  and  in  public 
esteem.  In  1842  he  was  elected  as  a  Democrat  to  the  New 
Hampshire  Legislature,  and  soon  gained  a  standing  among  the 
party  leaders.  It  was  not  long,  however,  before  the  people  and 
the  politicians  alike  discovered  that  he  put  principles  before 
party,  self-respect  before  high  office.  Despite  his  fearless 
independence  of  party  rule,  he  was  elected  by  the  people  to 
represent  them  in  the  lower  house  of  Congress.  When,  in 
1847,  he  went  to  Congress,  one  of  only  three  "Free  Soil" 
members  at  that  time,  he  was  still  a  young  man,  but  prudent, 
tactful,  and  conciliatory  in  his  conduct,  though  rigidly  firm 
in  purpose.  He  was  not  an  abolitionist  nor  an  advocate  of 
extreme  measures,  but  he  was  a  staunch  anti-slavery  man, 
and  that  at  a  time  when  the  espousal  of  such  a  doctrine  meant 
ridicule  and  worse.  Still  he  never  once  faltered  or  paused, 
and  by  his  course  conferred  lasting  distinction  on  his  State.

After  six  years'  service  in  Congress,  he  returned  to  Exeter 
and  resumed  the  practice  of  law.  This  release  from  the  routine 
of  Congressional  life  did  not  mean  to  him  release  from  his 
sense  of  duty  to  principles  and  the  people,  and  he  ceased  not 
to  labor  with  voice,  pen  and  deed  until  the  victory  was  won. 

In  September,  1853,  Mr-  Tuck  wrote  Doctor  Batchelder,  of 
Londonderry,  inviting  that  gentleman  to  be  present  at  an 
informal  meeting  of  some  of  the  principal  members  of  the 
parties  of  Exeter  on  the  12th  of  October.  "One  of  the  prin- 
cipal objects  of  this  informal  meeting  is  to  fix  on  a  plan  of 
harmonizing  the  different  party  organizations,  whereby  a  more 
united  cooperation  can  be  secured,  and  the  four  parties  may 
pull  together  under  one  title  of  organization." 

This  meeting  was  held,  and  there  it  was,  according  to 
Doctor  Batchelder,  that  Mr.  Tuck  suggested  that  the  com- 
prehensive name,  Republican,  be  given  to  the  elements  that 
were  to  constitute  the  new  party.  This  antedated  by  several 
months  the  mass-meeting  at  Ripon,  Wis.,  that  adopted  the 
same  name.  The  name  Republican  was  first  given  by  Amos 
Tuck  to  the   forces   gathering  to   resist  slavery. 

In  June,  1856,  he  was  one  of  the  prominent  men  of 
the  American  Republicans  of  New  Hampshire,  who  assembled 
at  Concord  to  choose  delegates  to  the  National  Convention  to 
be  held  at  Philadelphia  on  the  17th  of  the  same  month.  Mr. 
Tuck  called  the  meeting  to  order  and,  after  the  choosing  of  a 
president,  read  the  resolutions,  of  which  he  was  the  author- 
in-chief.  The  new  party  had  nothing  to  explain  or  modify, 
and  the  resolutions  were  of  sterling  character  and  honest 
brevity.  Mr.  Tuck  was  chosen  one  of  the  four  delegates-at- 
large  to  the  Quaker  City  convention,  the  first  held  by  the 
Republicans,  and  served  as  vice-president. 

On  the  26th  of  April,  i860,  the  Republican  State  conven- 
tion met  at  Concord,  and  again  he  was  chosen  as  one 
of  the  delegates-at-large  to  the  approaching  convention. 
When  this  second  national  Republican  convention  assem- 
bled in  Chicago,  in  May,  he  was  assigned  to  the  Com- 
mittee on  Resolutions,  where  he  had  as  his  associates  Horace 
Greeley,  George  S.  Boutwell,  Francis  P.  Blair,  Carl  Schurz, 
and  John  A.  Kasson.

To  the  famous  Peace  Conference  he  was  appointed  as  one 
of  the  New  Hampshire  delegates,  and  at  that  conference,  with- 
out abatement  of  one  iota  of  principle  and  with  unbending 
firmness,  he  still  strove  to  win  and  conciliate,  not  to  drive  or 
coerce. 

Though  recognized  as  one  of  the  leaders  of  the  Republicans, 
he  now  prepared  to  resume  the  practice  of  his  profession. 

His  work  for  others  did  not  stop  with  his  interest  in  political 
issues.  He  found  the  time  and  the  strength  to  serve  for  a 
long  period  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Dart- 
mouth, of  his  old  Academy  at  Hampton,  and  for  thirty  years 
of  Phillips  Exeter  Academy.  He  helped  to  organize  Robin- 
son Female  Seminary,  Exeter,  N.  H. ;  was  a  constant  bene- 
factor to  it,  and  as  President  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  spared 
himself  no  labor  in  its  behalf. 

In  his  private  life  there  was  the  same  devotion  to  high  ideals 
that  guided  him  in  his  public  career,  and,  as  every  '62  man 
will  surmise,  his  charities  were  many,  no  worthy  object  appeal- 
ing to  him  in  vain.  Always,  to  all  men,  in  every  sense,  he  was 
the  gentleman.  Theodore  Parker  said  of  him  that  to  look  upon 
his  face  was  a  benediction,  and  many  another  has  echoed  this 
thought.  Such  a  man  was  he  on  whose  life  and  example  is 
built  the  Tuck  School. 

[Because  Tuck  has  not  only  given  to  Dartmouth  so  much

Hon.  Randall  Hobart  White 

Randall  Hobart  White,  son  of  Andrew  and  Lydia  Sophia 
(Hobart)  White,  was  born  at  Chesterfield,  N.  Y.,  May  5, 
1833.  His  father  was  a  farmer.  He  fitted  at  Pembroke, 
N.  H.,  and  Thetford,  Vt.,  entered  college  in  the  fall  of  1858, 
and  continued  through  the  full  course. 

At  graduation  he  was  5  feet  10  inches  in  height,  170  pounds 
in  weight ;  had  brown  hair,  light  complexion,  full  whiskers ; 
smoked ;  was  a  Methodist,  a  Republican,  and  intended  to 
become  a  lawyer. 

No  better  account  can  be  given  of  his  life  immediately 
after  graduation  than  as  described  by  himself:  "One  week 
after  I  graduated  I  found  myself  in  the  woods  of  Mississippi, 
in  the  neighborhood  of  Corinth,  amid  tents  and  soldiers,  with 
them  and  among  them,  but  not  of  them.  I  was  south  till  the 
war  ended,  and  until  March,  1866;  was  at  the  battle  of  Cor- 
inth, October  3-4,  1862,  and  carried  a  musket;  was  at  Vicks- 
burg  for  many  weeks,  and  at  the  time  of  its  surrender,  and 
saw  much  of  that  historic  struggle." 

In  the  Spring  of  1866  he  resumed  the  study  of  law  at  Platts- 
burg,  N.  Y.,  and  in  the  Fall  of  that  year  he  entered  the  law 
school  at  Albany,  N.  Y.,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  at 
Albany,  April  6,  1867,  and,  going  at  once  to  Chicago,  111., 
entered  upon  the  practice  of  law. 

He  represented  Chicago  in  the  State  Legislature,  in  the 
years  1880-1,  and  in  July,  1883,  was,  by  the  Governor  of  Illi- 
nois, on  the  recommendation  of  the  Judges  of  Cook  County, 
appointed  trial  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  South  Chicago,  with 
jurisdiction   in  matters   not   exceeding  $200,   and   gave  great

satisfaction,  both  to  the  bar  and  the  people,  in  his  judicial 
determinations. 

During  some  of  the  many  years  he  held  this  office  (1882-94) 
the  Justice  Court  system  was  in  bad  repute,  but  no  charge  was 
ever  made  against  White  reflecting  on  his  integrity  as  a  mag- 
istrate. He  was  an  able  lawyer,  and  could  have  served  as  a 
Judge  of  a  Court  of  Record  with  distinguished  success,  for 
his  judgment  on  questions  of  law  was  exceptionally  accurate, 
and  he  knew  well  how  to  distinguish  between  the  letter  and 
the  spirit  of  the  law.  He  often  brushed  aside  technicalities 
and  decided  cases  on  the  simple  question  of  what  was  essen- 
tially just.  In  close  questions  he  often  persuaded  parties  to 
agree  to  a  compromise  settlement. 

In  1871  he  joined  with  Gen.  Webster,  John  Wentworth 
and  others  in  forming  the  Dartmouth  Alumni  Association  of 
Chicago,  and  was  its  second  secretary.  At  the  second  annual 
dinner  he  read  a  poem  filled  with  witty  allusions  to  Hanover, 
its  Yale  of  Tempe,  Mink  Brook,  Prex's  Garden  and  other 
local  points.     Later  he  was  president  of  the  association. 

His  nephew  says  of  him:  "His  great  centralizing  thought 
in  his  life,  and  that  which  was  nearest  to  his  heart,  was  'Dart- 
mouth College  and  the  men  whom  he  met  there/  " 

He  was  mentally  strong  to  within  a  few  hours  of  his  death. 
He  left  an  estate  of  about  $100,000.  He  left  fragments  of  a 
great  many  poems,  which  his  nephew  intends  to  place  in  shape 
and  have  printed. 

He  died  on  the  17th  of  April,  1905,  and  his  body  was 
taken  to  Peru,  N.  Y.,  for  burial  in  the  family  lot. 

J.  A.  Clark,  in  1892,  writing  to  one  of  the  '62  men,  said: 
"I  see  White  occasionally.    He  changes  not  at  all." 

In  politics  he  was  a  Republican,  and  in  religion  was  in  his 
own  words,  in  1884,  "unsettled."  He  made  a  reminiscent 
address  at  the  memorial  services  to  Putnam  the  evening  of 
December  ij,  1896. 

He  never  married.

Ira  McLaughlin  Barton,  son  of  Hon.  Levi  W.  and  Mary  A. 
(Pike)  Barton,  was  born  at  Newport,  N.  H.,  March  II,  1840. 
His  father  was  a  lawyer.  He  fitted  at  Meriden,  N.  H. ;  entered 
college  at  the  fall  term  of  1858,  and  left  at  the  end  of  the 
Freshman  year. 

After  leaving  college  he  commenced  the  study  of  law  in 
the  office  of  his  father  at  Newport ;  at  the  very  commence- 
ment of  the  war  he  enlisted  a  company  of  men,  took 
them  to  Concord,  and  was  mustered  into  service,  receiving  the 
first  captain's  commission  issued  in  New  Hampshire  during 
the  War  of  the  Rebellion ;  he  wras  captain  of  Company  E. 
First  N.  H.  Regiment  Volunteers ;  when  the  term  of  this 
regiment  had  expired  (three  months),  he  returned  to  his  home 
and  at  once  raised  another  company  and  was  commissioned 
captain  of  Company  F  in  the  Fifth  N.  H.  Regiment,  known 
as  the  famous  "Fighting  Fifth,"  and  was  in  many  of  the  most 
desperate  engagements  of  the  war ;  he  was  badly  impaired  in 
health  by  exposure  during  the  peninsula  campaign,  and  was 
compelled  to  resign.  Having  recovered  his  health,  he  enlisted 
another  company  of  heavy  artillery  and  went  in  command 
of  the  same  to  Fort  Foot,  near  Washington,  as  Company  B, 
First  Regiment  N.  H.  Heavy  Artillery;  in  1864  he  was  sent

Tenth  Arkansas  Judicial  District;  he  remained  in  this  posi-

the  same  district,  which  office  he  resigned,  and  entered  upon 
the  practice  of  law,  and  was  editor  of  the  Jeifersonian  Repub- 
lican, a  leading  newspaper  of  that  State. 

During  the  eventful  troubles  in  Arkansas  known  as  the 
Brooks  and  Baxter  contest,  Colonel  Barton  was  in  command 
of  Governor  Bishop's  troops,  and  stationed  at  Little  Rock. 
One  evening,  while  walking  on  the  public  street,  a  person 
whom  he  had  caused  to  be  arrested  for  a  crime  a  short  time 
before  came  behind  him  and,  unknown  to  him,  struck  him 
a  terrible  blow  on  the  head  with  a  heavy  revolver,  felling  him 
to  the  ground,  causing  a  severe  wound.  He  was  a  long  time 
recovering  from  its  effects,  and  it  caused  him  much  pain  dur- 
ing the  remainder  of  his  life.  After  his  partial  recovery  he 
left  Arkansas,  presumably  on  account  of  the  danger  of  his 
living  there,  and  returned  to  his  home  in  Newport,  in  Decem- 
ber, 1874,  and  engaged  in  the  practice  of  law  with  his  father ; 
he  never  fully  recovered  his  health,  and  died,  after  a  brief 
illness,  January  19,  1876. 

Colonel  Barton  was  a  brave  man  and  gained  the  reputation 
of  being  a  thorough  soldier ;  he  had  a  warm  heart  and  was  a 
true  friend  to  all  who  knew  him.

of  the  streets  was  commenced  and  a  paid  fire  department  was 
organized.  He  paid  especial  attention  to  municipal  law,  and 
his  advice  was  much  sought. 

"His  career  was  such  as  to  warrant  the  trust  and  confidence 
of  the  business  world.  He  was  broad-minded  and  public- 
spirited,  and  true  to  every  engagement." 

He  was  a  Republican  and  of  no  particular  religious  creed. 
In  1884  he  thought  it  would  take  a  long  while  to  tell  exactly 
what  he  did  believe,  and  his  law  partner  writes  that  there  was 
no  change  in  his  politics  or  religious  belief. 

He  died  August  10,  1907,  and  was  buried  in  Clinton.  His

Edgar  Gleason,  son  of  R.  M.  and  Harriet  Gleason,  was  born 
at  Thetford,  Vt.,  July  26,  1838.  His  father  was  the  postmaster 
at  that  place.  He  fitted  at  Thetford  (Vt.)  Academy,  and

tution, and  was  taken  sick  during  the  winter  of  1858,  and  died

Arthur  David  Haynes,  Perry,  Kans. 

Arthur  David  Haynes,  son  of  David  and  Sarah  D.  Haynes, 
was  born  at  Alexandria,  N.  H.,  in  1838.  His  father  was  a 
farmer.  He  fitted  at  New  Hampton,  N.  H.,  entered  college  in 
the  fall  of  1858,  and  continued  in  the  class  during  the  Fresh- 
man year. 

After  leaving  college  he  taught  one  year  at  Westport,  Mass., 
and  then  entered  the  Law  Department  of  the  University  of 
Michigan,  and  continued  two  years,  graduating  LL.B.,  March, 
1862;  then  continued  the  study  of  law  with  Hon.  Austin  F. 
Pike,  at  Franklin,  N.  H.,  and  was  admitted  to  the  New  Hamp- 
shire bar;  taught  two  years  at  Hastings  and  Chatfield,  Minn., 
and  removed  to  Perry,  Kans.,  in  April,  1866,  where  he  has 
since  resided,  engaged  in  the  practice  of  law,  and  interested  in 
farming. 

He  is  "well  and  quite  cosily  situated  on  his  farm  in  the  Kaw 
valley,  where  he  has  lived  for  forty-two.  years."  From  his 
library  window  he  can  see  the  dome  of  the  capitol  in  Topeka, 
but  he  has  no  political  aspirations  and  never  had.  His  neigh- 
bors elect  him  Justice  of  the  Peace  every  two  years,  and  this 
is  grandeur  enough  for  him.  He  has  a  distinct  recollection 
of  the  Dartmouth  days,  and  is  interested  in  the  class  record. 

He  does  not  mention  any  change  in  politics  or  creed  since 
1884,  and  then  he  was  a  Republican  and  in  creed  Independent.

Hon.  Orville  Rinaldo  Leonard 

Orville  Rinaldo  Leonard,  son  of  John  and  Lois  Leonard,  was 
born  at  Gaysville,  Vt.,  November  13,  1834.  His  father  was 
a  farmer.  He  fitted  at  Randolph,  Vt.,  entered  college  in  the 
Fall  of  1858,  and  left  college  in  the  Fall  term  of  the  Junior 
year,   i860. 

After  leaving  college  he  at  once  went  to  California  and 
commenced  the  study  of  law  with  the  firm  of  Belcher  & 
Belcher,  at  Marysville ;  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  May,  1863 ; 
went  to  Humboldt,  Nev.,  and  engaged  in  practice ;  was  elected 
District  Attorney  in  1863,  and  held  the  position  until  1869; 
was  a  delegate  to  the  Chicago  Convention  in  1868,  which  nomi- 
nated Grant;  was  elected  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court  of 
Nevada  in  1876,  for  six  years,  and  was  re-elected  in  1882  for 
a  term  of  six  years  more.  He  ranked  as  one  of  the  ablest 
lawyers  on  the  Pacific  coast ;  he  published  several  volumes  of 
the  Nevada  Supreme  Court  Reports.  He  was  Chief  Justice 
of  Nevada  for  a  number  of  years.  The  years  of  1890-4  he 
lived  at  Ogden,  Utah,  where  he  was  greatly  beloved. 

A  few  weeks  after  his  second  marriage,  while  on  his  wed- 
ding trip,  he  died  at  Woodstock,  Vt.,  September,  1894,  and 
was  buried  in  the  family  cemetery  at  Stockbridge. 

"A  straightforward  and  honorable  man  if  there  ever  was 
one,"  was  the  tribute  paid  him  by  one  of  the  Supreme  Judges 
of  Utah. 

His  power  of  winning  friends  was  one  of  his  prominent 
characteristics.  He  was  the  friend  of  the  poor ;  to  command- 
ing strength  was  added  a  tenderness  and  gentleness  that  was 
almost  womanly.  As  a  judge,  he  was  incorruptible  and 
abstained  from  even  the  appearances  of  evil. 

He  was  a  Republican,  and  in  religion  believed  in  the  over-

ruling  Providence,  and  that  we  cannot  escape  punishment  for 
wrong-doing,  but  in  no  other  sense  did  he  believe  in  eternal

Dr.  John  Clay  McKowen 

John  Clay  McKowen,  son  of  John  and  Elizabeth  (Lang- 
ford)  McKowen,  was  born  at  Jackson,  La.,  in  1842.  His 
father  was  a  merchant  and  planter,  and  lived  mostly  in  Paris, 
France.  He  fitted  at  Mt.  Holly  and  Elizabeth  City,  N.  J.; 
entered  college  in  1859,  and  continued  until  the  summer  of 
1861,  when  he  left  at  the  breaking  out  of  the  Civil  War. 

After  leaving  college  he  returned  to  his  home  in  Louisiana, 
and  entered  the  Confederate  service,  became  lieutenant  colonel 
of  the  Fifteenth  Confederate  Cavalry,  and  as  such  was  in 
active  service  until  the  close  of  the  war. 

He  made  a  good  reputation  as  an  able  and  daring  officer; 
among  other  things,  he,  with  five  men,  entered  the  Federal 
lines  at  Port  Hudson,  during  the  memorable  siege  of  1863, 
and  captured  Gen.  Neal  Dow  and  his  guard  while  in  their 
headquarters,  and  carried  them  inside  the  Confederate  lines 
and  sent  them  to  Libby  Prison  at  Richmond.  General  Dow 
was  afterward  exchanged  for  Gen.  Fitzhugh  Lee. 

After  the  close  of  the  war  he  returned  to  Dartmouth,  and 
graduated  with  the  Class  of  1866. 

He  then  went  to  Europe  and  became  a  student  of  medicine 
at  Paris  in  1866-7;  returned  to  America  in  1868,  bought  a 
ranch  in  California  and  became  a  ranchero  at  Los  Angeles,  and 
was  elected  the  Alcalde ;  in  1870  he  sold  out  and  removed  to 
San  Francisco,  and  became  vice-principal  of  the  public  schools 
in  that  city  in  1870-2.     In  1872-6  he  was  a  student  of  medi- 


NON-GRADUATES  1 25 

cine  at  Vienna,  Austria,  and  Munich,  Bavaria,  taking  his 
degree  of  M.D.  at  Munich ;  engaged  in  the  practice  of  medi- 
cine at  Rome  in  1876,  but  in  1878  he  was  taken  with  malarial 
fever  and  went  to  Capri,  in  the  Bay  of  Naples,  for  his  health, 
and  was  so  attracted  by  the  beauties  of  that  earthly  paradise 
that  he  resided  there  a  number  of  years.  He  had  a  fine  villa, 
a  vineyard,  and  an  olive  orchard,  and  occupied  his  time  in 
writing,  painting,  making  oil  and  wine,  and  traveling.  Many 
of  his  Winters  he  spent  in  Egypt,  Greece,  Tunis,  Spain,  or 
other  near  by  places. 

He  published  a  history  of  Capri,  which  was  valuable  his- 
torically and  of  interest  to  the  reader.  He  accumulated  what 
was  said  to  be  the  finest  private  collection  of  medieval  arms 
in  the  world.  Later  he  returned  to  the  United  States  and  prac- 
ticed his  profession  in  New  Orleans. 

He  was  shot  near  Wilson,  La.,  September  18,  1897,  by  State 
Senator  R.  E.  Thompson.  The  men  met  on  a  country  road, 
one  driving  and  the  other  on  horseback.  "With  scant  prelimi- 
naries, the  pair  drew  revolvers  and  began  shooting.  McKowen, 
shot  through  the  neck,  started  his  horse,  and,  as  he  rode, 
evidently  realizing  his  wound  was  mortal,  took  out  his  note- 
book and  wrote  out  a  statement  of  the  affair." 

He  married  a  sister  of  D.  W.  Pipes,  a  prominent  politician 
of  Louisiana. 

In  political  faith  he  was  a  Southerner,  and  his  religious 
tendencies  were  (in  his  own  words),  "Buddhism  mixed  with 
the  maxims  and  precepts  of  our  old  college  friend,  Horace/' 


Samuel  Jones  Morris,  DeWitt,  Iowa 

Samuel  Jones  Morris,  son  of  James  L.  and  Agnes  E.  Mor- 
ris, was  born  at  Morgantown,  Pa.,  June  16,  1839.  His  father 
was  a  merchant.  He  fitted  at  Fort  Edward,  N.  Y.,  entered 
college  in  the  Fall  of  1858,  and  remained  through  the  Sopho- 
more year,  being  obliged  to  give  up  his  studies  on  account  of 
his  eyes. 


126  NON-GRADUATES 

After  leaving  college,  he  at  once  "went  West,"  and  settled 
at  Princeton,  Scott  County,  Iowa,  where  he  remained  until 
October,  1882,  when  he  removed  to  DeWitt,  his  present  resi- 
dence. His  own  words  will  best  describe  his  life  up  to  1882. 

"My  life,  since  my  eyes  forbade  my  continuance  with  the 
boys  of  1862,  has  been  mainly  spent  in  bucolic  pursuits,  in  the 
'otium  cum  dignitate'  of  farm  life,  although  I  am  free  to  con- 
fess that  the  'otium'  was  not  at  all  times  discernible  to  the 
naked  eye.  As  a  relaxation  therefrom — the  'otium' — I  spent 
some  years  with  moderate  constancy  and  fair  success  as  a 
teacher,  and  take  rather  pardonable  pride  in  the  style  and  man- 
ner of  'fitting'  which  I  gave  several  young  men  for  college. 
I  had  thought  that  the  'tupto,  tup  so,  tetupha,'  the  'arrecti 
comer/  and  all  that,  had  gone  off  on  a  tangent,  and  had  well 
nigh  hoped  it  had,  and  have  only  to  thank  one  young  man, 
half  Irish,  half  German,  and  wholly  polyglot,  for  the  novel 
discovery  that  it  had  not  wholly  gone,  and  it  is  fitting  that  I 
bid  welcome  to  what  is  left." 

In  October,  1882,  he  removed  to  DeWitt,  Iowa,  where  he 
was  the  head  of  the  firm  of  Morris,  Barr  &  Morris,  patentees 
and  manufacturers  of  the  "Iowa  Cyclone  Hub  Borer,"  and 
for  many  years  he  was  "a  wayfarer,  a  commercial  pilgrim," 
and  his  duties  led  him  into  almost  all  the  States  north  of 
Mason  &  Dixon's  line,  and  sometimes  beyond  it,  being  the 
General  Agent  of  the  Iowa  Assessment  Mutual  Insurance  Asso- 
ciation, of  DeWitt,  Iowa. 

He  has  filled  responsible  positions,  such  as  Assessor,  Col- 
lector, Justice  of  the  Peace,  etc. ;  and  was  interested  in  the  pub- 
lication of  a  history  of  Scott  County,  furnishing  much  of  the 
material. 

He  is  in  good  health  and  better  spirits,  an  optimist  all 
through,  and  hopes  rather  than  expects  to  reach  the  century 
mark. 

He  continues  steadfast  in  Republican  faith,  tries  to  grow 
with  its  growth,  is  an  ardent  admirer  of  Mr.  Roosevelt,  and 
has  the  largest  measure  of  faith  in  President  Taft. 

Time  has  thinned  his  family  as  he  has  lost  his  youngest 
daughter  and  his  wife,  about  his  life  with  whom  he  wrote  in 


NON-GRADUATES  \2J 

1883  that  he  had  a  firm  belief  in  "matches  made  in  heaven," 
as  "Mrs.  M.  and  myself  have  the  same  measure  of  years,  days, 
hours;  twins,  so  to  speak." 

In  his  travelling  days,  he  used  sometimes  to  run  across  some 
of  the  men  of  '62,  ''John  S.  Stevens,  of  Peoria,  for  instance, 
and  Add  Clark,  of  Waterloo,  Wis.,  who  was  a  very  prince  of 
good   fellows." 

He  takes  great  interest  in  the  class  and  its  record,  and  writes 
of  them  as  "a  lot  of  boys  well  worth  knowing  and  remember- 
ing. 

For  nearly  eighteen  years  he  has  lived  with  his  surviving 
daughter  and  her  family. 

He  married  Miss  Eleanora  V.  L.  Cornog,  at  Davenport, 
Iowa,  February  5,  1863.  She  died  in  DeWitt,  Iowa,  August 
13,  1889.

Samuel  Porter  Putnam 


Samuel  Porter  Putnam,  son  of  Rufus  A.  and  Frances  H. 
Putnam,  was  born  at  Chichester,  N.  H.,  July  23,  1837.  His 
father  was  a  Congregational  clergyman.  He  fitted  at  Pem- 
broke (N.  H.)  Academy,  entered  college  in  the  fall  of  1858, 
and  left  college  duing  Junior  year  to  enter  the  army. 

He  entered  the  4th  New  York  Heavy  Artillery,  and  was 
connected  with  the  same  until  he  passed  a  competitive  exam- 
ination before  the  Military  (Casey's)  Board  at  Washington, 
and  was  appointed  Captain  in  the  20th  U.  S.  Colored  Troops, 
and  served  until  the  close  of  the  war.  After  the  war  he  studied 
theology  at  Chicago,  111.,  was  ordained  a  Congregationalist 
(orthodox)  minister  in  1868,  and  preached  three  years;  then 
entered  the  Unitarian  ministry  and  preached  at  Toledo,  Ohio, 
one  year;  at  Omaha  and  North  Platte,  Nebr.,  three  years; 
Northfleld,  Mass.,  two  years ;  Vincennes,  Ind.,  one  year. 
He  left  the  ministry  and  accepted  a  position  in  the  Custom 
House  at  New  York  City,  in  1880,  and  later  he  was  promoted. 
When,  however,  he  was,  in  1884,  elected  secretary  of  the 
National  Liberal  League,  he  resigned  his  Custom  House  posi- 
tion, and  thereafter  devoted  all  his  time  and  energies  to  the 
Freethought  work.  He  was  one  of  the  chief  leaders  of  an 
agitation  begun  in  1885  for  the  opening  of  the  Museums  of 
Art  and  Natural  History  in  Central  Park  on  Sunday.  The 
efforts  were  successful. 

In  December,  1887,  he  went  to  California,  and  the  next 
month  began  the  publication  of  Freethought,  a  weekly  anti- 
religious  paper.  This  paper  was  merged  with  the  Truth 
Seeker,  in  August,  1891. 

He  was  unanimously  elected  president  of  the  several  annual 
Congresses  (1893-6)  of  the  Freethought  Federation. 

In  April,  1895,  he  sailed  from  New  York  on  a  visit  to  Eng- 
land and  France,  combining  a  pleasure  trip  and  lecturing  tour. 

He  died  suddenly  at  Boston,  Mass.,  December  11,  1896. 

During  his  ministerial  years  he  wrote  some  poetry  for  the 
Unitarian  papers,  and  in  the  interval  between  the  time  he 
left  the  pulpit  and  re-entered  it,  about  1877,  he  contributed 
9 


130  NON-GRADUATES 

more  or  less  verse  to  the  Free  Religious  Index.  His  first  pub- 
lished volume  was  "Promethus,  a  Poem."  Of  this  work,  the  late 
Dr.  Bellows  said :  "It  is  crammed  with  life,  thought,  and  pro- 
found emotion,  poured  forth,  it  seems  to  me,  with  extraordi- 
nary richness  and  beauty ;"  and  the  Century,  "The  value  of 
the  work  lies  in  the  vigor,  consistency  and  eloquence  with 
which  the  moral  temptations  of  to-day  are  set  forth." 

His  first  contribution  to  the  Freethought  press  was  his  story, 
"Gottlieb:  His  Life."  For  the  same  paper,  the  Truth  Seeker, 
he  wrote  book  reviews  and  other  essays.  The  opening  chap- 
ter of  his  first  novel,  "Golden  Throne,"  appeared  in  the  first 
number  of  This  World,  January,  1882.  On  February  21,  1885, 
appeared  the  first  of  his  famous  "News  and  Notes,"  of  which 
more  than  five  hundred  installments  were  published  in  the 
following  eleven  years.  He  was  also  the  author  of  a  novel, 
"Waifs  and  Wanderings,"  1885,  and  a  history,  "Four  Hun- 
dred Years  of  Free  Thought,"  1894.  His  writings  have  not 
been  brought  together  in  a  uniform  edition.  There  are  various 
pamphlets  and  four  or  five  bound  books.  Besides  this  work 
there  were  hundreds  of  lectures,  which  he  delivered  in  all  parts 
of  the  country. 

He  said  that  be  believed  in  anarchy,  but  he  never  used  the 
word  without  having  it  understood  that  he  meant  "ideal" 
anarchy — that  is,  a  condition  in  which  no  government  would 
be  needed,  because  no  one  would  infringe  the  equal  rights  of 
others. 

By  heredity  he  was  a  Republican,  but  no  party  engaged 
his  active  support.  Regarding  religion,  he  was  an  Atheist. 
His  philosophy  was  materialistic. 

"So  unaffected  was  he,  that  his  intimates  usually  addressed 
him  as  'Put'  or  'Sam.'  "  Those  who  knew  him  loved  him,  and 
numerous  were  the  tributes  paid  him. 

"I  knew  him  from  the  early  eighties  to  the  time  of  his  death, 
and  never  saw  in  him  a  streak  of  what  is  called  'yellows.'  I 
cannot  speak  of  him  without  praising  him." 

"I  have  never  met  a  man  who  appeared  to  be  more  thor- 
oughly devoted  to  the  great  cause  of  mental  freedom.  I  never 
heard  him  utter  a  harsh  word  about  any  human  being."

Randall  H.  White  (a  '62  man)  said  of  him  in  an  address 
at  Chicago  that  he  knew  the  world  was  better  for  Putnam's 
having  lived  in  it,  and  that  if  there  was  another  world  beyond 
the  dark  river,  he  believed  that  Putnam  would  be  one  of  the 
most  honored  inhabitants.  White  knew  him  first  at  Pembroke 
Academy,  then  at  college,  later  when  he  was  attending  the 
theological  seminary  in  Chicago.  "He  has  often  been  a  guest 
at  my  house,  and  no  guest  was  ever  more  welcome." 

He  married  Miss  Louise  Howell,  at  Chicago,  May  1,  1868.

short,"  and  that  he  has  held  no  offices  of  any  kind,  has  had

logue," which  contains  the  results  of  nearly  80,000  observa- 
tions made  at  the  Naval  Observatory  from  1866  to  1891.  Of 
these  observations  he  made  a  much  larger  number  than  any 
other  astronomer.  Since  his  retirement  he  has  revised,  recom- 
puted and  corrected,  at  his  own  expense,  the  results  of  the 
observations  of  the  sun,  moon,  planets  and  comets,  9,720  in 
all,  made  with  Meridian  Circle  at  the  Naval  Observatory  from 
1866  to  1 89 1,  and  this  work  has  since  been  published  by  the 
Government.  He  has  published  a  number  of  papers  on  astro- 
nomical subjects,  but  most  of  his  work  has  been  printed  in 
the  annual  volumes  of  the  U.  S.  Naval  Observatory.  He  is  a 
member  of  several  scientific  societies.  He  has  been  the  Gen- 
eral Secretary  and  twice  Vice-president  of  the  American  Asso-

He  was  one  of  the  founders,  once  the  President,  and  is  still 
a  member  of  the  Cosmos  Club,  of  Washington,  D.  C.  Was 
once  the  President  and  is  still  a  member  of  the  Philosophical 
Society  of  Washington,  and  was  the  first  President  of  the 
Washington  Academy  of  Sciences,  of  which  he  is  still  a 
member. 

Before  retirement  he  purchased  the  farm  on  which  he  was 
born,  in  Andover,  which  he  now  manages  and  where  he  now 
spends  most  of  his  time  from  April  to  December.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  N.  H.  Legislature  in  1905  ;  and  is  now  a  mem- 
ber of  the  N.  H.  Board  of  Equalization,  which  fixes  the  State 
tax  on  railroads  and  other  public-service  corporations. 

He  received  the  degree  of  Ph.D.  from  Dartmouth  in  1877. 

On  June  29,  1906,  he  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Rear 
Admiral,  U.  S.  Navy.
